While this kind of autocompletion is not automatic for all tags in BBEdit, as others have pointed out, clippings can do this for you easily but you will have to set up a clipping for each tag you use. Among the advantages to doing this with clippings is that you can wrap a selection or even contents of the current clipboard with a complete tag. I can select dozens of text blocks (from a client's Word doc, for example) and with a single keystroke, wrap each one in its own <p> tag. I don't have to select each paragraph block individually. The same clipping can be smart enough to insert a complete empty tag or wrap the tag around content, depending on the environment. Also with clippings, you can not only wrap content with a complete tag but also add attributes. For example, I can select a page full of content and use a single keystroke to wrap the content in a <div> tag, add class="" to the tag, and position the cursor between the quote marks ready to type my class name.
