autoclose tags doesnt work well enough to be useful...

the Autoclose Tags feature doesn't close the last unclosed tag in the hierarchy , it closes only the last unclosed tag if it is not closed.

example: this would close the p tag properly

Code:
<body>
<p>

</body>


example 2: this would not close the body tag if the p tag was closed

Code:
<body>
<p>
</p>


would it be possible to autoclose every tag in the hierarchy (reverse)sequentially perhaps like dreamweaver....as soon as "</" is typed?

thanks,
Leon

When fixing the close tag feature please don't forget about already closed tags so we don't get <img src="" /></img>, <br /></br> and others.

Another example:

<p><? echo 'x' ?></p>

is OK but:

<p><?= 'x' ?></'x'>

is not (:

I'd love to see the closing feature support hierarchy. This would be really useful.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but an alternative to auto-closing tags maybe to use a similar behaviour as Dreamweaver.

When typing a tag, say <p> the editor adds the closing tag as soon as the > is typed. The cursor is in between the >< so it's ready to type.

Also, support for xhtml syntax would be nice, so tags like <img would end with /> not <img></img>.

This could be a fair amount of work though...

you may want to check the following:
tools -> settings -> reserved words, select HTML language, double click on "p" tag, check "Auto Close" checkbox.

I tried that, but for things like <input, <img and <br it wants to close them improperly. In other words it does:
Code:
<img></img>
<input></input>
<br></br>
instead of
Code:
<input />
<img />
<br />

any chance this can be "fixed" in a future version?
