Auto close html tags

[Dentosal]

I used to use Sublime text before I changed to Atom. They had a nice feature: When writing html, if I wrote </the editor automatically completed it to full closing html tag without. It doesn't required even pressing some key to expand.

Please label this to enhancement.

@Dentosal I think you were using some community package for that behavior in Sublime - when I type <div> in an HTML doc in Sublime it doesn't autoclose. In both Atom and Sublime however you can close open tags with Cmd/Ctrl-Alt-.. Nonetheless, this is an interesting enhancement idea.

To add, I am also a Sublime text user. I have no extra plugin for auto complete or auto closing, just the core functionality to my knowledge.

When I type, "<div" and tab it turns it into, "

" with the cursor in between them automatically. Or If I type "

</" it automatically adds, "ul>". Would be great if this was core functionality in Atom or at least ability to enable/disable it via a setting as I would think it's a popular feature. There is currently a plugin that does it that has been downloaded over 61K times https://atom.io/packages/autoclose-html. Since Atom is prime to be the next best text editor, I can understand not wanting to add too many core features since it can get bloated and turn into the next Dreamweaver, but hopefully some features like this may make it into core. Just my two cents though!

@mnquintana this feature was added in Sublime 3.

+1 The"</" type is more faster than shortcut

+1 for "</" closing tags. Love that feature in Sublime 3!
