Autocomplete HTML/XML tags?

[Russell Dickenson]

Does anyone know of an way in which I can have gedit autocomplete
HTML/XML tags?  I have tried a plugin named XML Helper and it does
what I need but only when a hotkey is pressed.  The behaviour I want
is what's currently offered by SciTE, which inserts the closing tag as
soon as you complete the opening tag, and the cursor is shifted to
between the opening and closing tag.

I intend to extend the gdp syntax completer plugin to support a specific
set of completion that I want:

      * When starting an open tag, suggest elements that are already
        used
      * When in a tag, suggest attributes that are already used
      * When closing a tag, suggest the current open elements

I think this what you are asking for. I was not planning to start this
until November though :(

Curtis,

Thanks for your reply.  I have no problem with waiting.  I hope all goes well.
