autocomplete for html when typing </

[syrupcore]

Not the request some dreamweaver users have asked for where the software knows what's open and autocloses it as you type </. That'd be nice too.

More simply (I think), I'd just like the autocomplete to ignore that it's starting with a slash and offer the normal list of html tags. If I'm closing something manually, say a <table> tag, and I type </ the autocomplete list goes away. I'm looking for this: I type </t and all tags starting with t are available in the autocomplete list (and leave the backslash in). I hope that makes sense.

Thank you,
will

Thank you, Will, for your suggestion.
I think it is reasonable request, and actually something alike I had in my mind already. I will talk with Karlis about adding this in to the to-do list.

However, what do you and others would like to have better:
1) auto-complete list of one item, listing the closest open tag
2) auto-complete list of all tags, but (not sure if this will be possible), having the appropriate open tag selected already

The filtering of a list probably won't be implemented at this moment. We have it only for the php built-in function list, because it is huge.

I'd prefer option 2) but 1) would be great too! Both are above and beyond what I was asking for.

I think (haven't tried it yet) I might be able to get what I was asking for by editing a local text file. just copying each html tag in the html def text file and adding a / to the beginning. I think that'll work. I'll report back.

Ok, thanks for feedback. I think changing the definition file won't work here, because the editor still would not recognize "</" in order to show auto-complete list. So we need to change to code.
