Default Matching tags highlighting - 08-27-2008 , 07:54 PM






I've been waiting for years for Dreamweaver to have this option, does anyone
knows if there's an option or an extension to activate this very helpful
option? When you click on a <div> it will highlights it as well as its closing
</div>, same thing for all tags.
I'm using PSPad (freeware) just because of this functionality that is so
helpful. I can't believe Adobe never thought of it, even in CS4 I couldn't find
it.

Please let me know if you are aware of such a function.

Thanks a lot.

In the bar just below the code window, click on an opening tag and its
matching closing tag and everything in between will be selected.

Thanks, I didn't know that, it's better than nothing but is there an option
that does this automatically, no need to click anywhere and that highlights
only the tag not the entire page and it turns red when there's no closing
matching tag?

There is a function that will highlight (in yellow) code errors found in
code view. Look on the code view toolbar to find that one.
