A neat feature would be to be able to have notepad++ automatically close tags. Much like Creatext on the Mac does. If you are not sure what I mean and you have a Mac try installing Creatext and writing some HTML.
Its fun and saves heaps of time when writing code. :-)
But I can see this could also get annoying. So the ability to turn it on and off would be great.

Notepad++ is a "generic" source code editor (it tries to be anyway). So the features (like this one) which depend on the language won't be implemented.

Ok... the last version of Notepad++ I had installed did just this. Now I have upgraded and I don't see the option anymore. This was handy for HTML coding... Are you saying this has been removed for some reason?

Argh - apologies, I didn't notice where this is - under TextFX -> TextFX Settings -> autoclose HTML/XML tags. OK. Note: I am the most recent 'nobody' but not either of the other two 'nobody's.

OK but it would be nice to have the ability for others to write plugins to do such things. Like you have Autocomplete API's right?... why not an extension to that to just complete the tags? Seems a logical step.

BRILLIANT :)
