Rob- I think you may have missed typed a bit. I think you meant to say "when I _open_ a paragraph tag I would like textmate to automatically create a closing tag for me." I think that's how dreamweaver works. Anyway, I don't think textmate works in that same way. As Niko said, using ctrl-< (also written: ctrl-shift-,) will create opening and closing tags and allow you to fill in whatever you need and then hit tab and you jump in between the tags, hit tab again and jump to the end of the tags.
You mentioned that at the end of the screencast he did just what you wanted to do. It looks like he was using tab completion on ul and li. Which is a question I have, I don't have those tab completions in the HTML bundle. Does everyone just create them for themselves or am I missing? I kind of expected these tab completions that aren't there: p, a, span, ul, and li. Any thoughts?

I apologize for the simple question but is there a way to turn on tag completion? For instance, when I close a paragraph tag i would like textmate to automatically create a closing tag for me. Thanks so much.
