Tag auto-closing

[baudoin]

Minor detail, but I noticed that in HTML files, tags will close when typing < after the opening tag. This doesn't happen in HBS files though using the Handlebars syntax.

Right, just tried the same thing with the 3rd party HTML5 package and auto-closing works there too, so it doesn't seem like something hardcoded in the built in package.

There are a couple other issues with tags (#47 and #48), very likely related and rooted in the fact that ST doesn't recognise tags as such when using this package.

Can't promise much at this point as I don't really know why is this happening and how is this functionality related to the simple syntax definition in this package. I'll create a label for tags though, so these issues can be looked at together.

[baudoin]

Yeah, obviously a minor issue. Thanks for taking a look @daaain.

Finding the Tag package to be a totally acceptable substitute here. Thus far indistinguishable from the native Sublime functionality except that it works with this package and some other third-party packages.

I've added the Tag package workaround to the README (thanks @iameli). Closing the issue as it's very unlikely that I'll ever get around to work on this given that there's a perfect solution, but of course PRs are still welcome.

Apparently the Tag package has been removed from packagecontrol and even after manual install it still doesn't work. Does anyone know of a different workaround/fix by now?

Sorry for resurrecting this ancient issue ;)

Ran across Tag missing from Package Control as well. I was able to get it working manually though.

• Download Tag | https://github.com/titoBouzout/Tag
• Unzip and move folder to ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/
• Make sure the folder is named Tag
• Open Package Control Settings - User
• Add "Tag" to the "installed_packages" array
• Restart Sublime

Enjoy HTML tag closing goodness.

Well apparently I screwed up because that works!
Thanks for the step by step @thekeele!

After following the above steps, I now get this result in every time I boot up sublime:

Sorry to hear that @MKorostoff, maybe try to open an issue on that repo?

Or have a look in Package Control, there might be other packages which do the same thing, maybe this: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Auto%20Close%20HTML%20Tags
