Tag Matching 1

[MrSki]

Does ColdFusion's Editor (Homesite) provide an easy way to match opening and closing tags? I have used a variety of editors (coursware related) before that linked related tags with brackets for easier viewing. This would sure help when debugging or heavy editing a page.

Dreamweaver does.. in two ways... Applying Source Formatting indents each tag further than the last tag.. like

<opening tag a>
  <opening tag b>
    <stand-alone tag>
    <opening tag c>
      content here
      blah blah blah
    </closing tag c>
    stuff here
  </closing tag b>
  <stand-alone tag>
</closing tag a>

Also it highlights tags that are invalid, like if there's more closing </font> or </cfif> tags then there are opening tags, you have yellow invalid tags show up in design view.

And also on a correct syntax page, you'll find on the status bar all the tags that the content where the cursor is at currently resides.

So in the above example if you clicked blah blah blah.. the statusbar would look like

<opening tag a> <opening tag b> <opening tag c>

but if you clicked stuff here you'd have

<opening tag a> <opening tag b>

Clicking on any of those tags highlights them in the source and design view and all content in between.
