Close tags automatically
Type the end of an opening tag and the closing one appears by itself. Type a closing bracket and it finishes the tag you still have open.
When you would want it
Forgetting to close a tag is the most common way HTML breaks, and the error it produces rarely points at the tag you forgot.
Where to find it
- All Features → Close tags automatically
- Settings → adcode.editing.autoCloseTags
How to use it, step by step
On by default in HTML, XML, JSX, and templates.
- Type >, and the closing tag is written for you with the cursor left between them.
Why this beats the usual way
Other editors give you this through a stack of extensions that each need installing, updating, and reconciling with each other - and half of them reset when a colleague opens the project. ADCode ships these behaviours in the box, on by default, identical on every machine that opens your folder, and each one is a single switch away if you disagree.
