IDE with HTML closing tag highlighting similar to closing brace

Question

Is there an IDE that highlights each HTML closing tag (as you highlight over the opening tag, for example), similar to how many IDE's highlight where the opening/closing braces are for functions and such?

Answer 1

There are quite many IDEs that can do that and it's only up to you which one will you choose. For example I often use NetBeans and Eclipse for HTML+CSS and PHP, sometime VisualStudio (for ASP.NET). For very fast editing, or something small I use Notepad++. All of them supports highlighting closing and beginning tags when marked. Also Dreamweaver is good for HTML, but I prefer to use OpenSource or freeware software (except for Visual Studio, but Express editions are also available free of charge).

So as you can see there are many options. I have to say that Notepad++ is quite powerful tool, very hight customizable, but for bigger HTML projects I use NetBeans due to it's code completion, syntax highlighting and other useful tools.
