[TxMt] HTML Tag Completion

[Matt Zollinhofer]

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?
