notice that the </h3> tag is on the next line - obviously this is undesirable and it slows down my coding way too much to have to then manually take my cursor over and insert a return after the closing tag - so much that it is obviously not worth it.
so for the sake of my being able to write readable code how do I accomplish this?
You can just hit the tab key after you've finished entering the tag name (h3 in your example). This takes you to just after the closing tag, and a simple return in there does what you're seeking.
