<aol>me too!</aol> Editors that insert a closing tag on my behalf the moment I type an opening tag, irk me. In most cases the keystroke to skip over the closing tag requires more hand-movement than simply typing the closing tag in the first place. As an example of the <p> tag, simply do this in BBEdit: 1) In preferences -> Editing: General, set "Show text completions" to be "After a delay in typing" 2) Select File->New->HTML Document 3) In the document, start typing p_class 4) press TAB 5) Marvel at how you now have a complete paragraph block with class attribute, and can easily tab between the fields! Then to break up that paragraph into two pieces, simply type "</p>[enter]<p>". How easy was that?
