Hello

Can i configure the UltraEdit 13.00, so that when i type the ">" of <html>, the close-tag "</html>" will automatically be added?

I searched in the forums and at some searchengines, but i havent found help.

Thanks for help!
Daniel

You can write a simple small macro, that you can assign e.g. to "ctrl-shift->".
Automatically would be strange. What happens if you really want to write <html> ?

Macro looks like this:

Code: Select all: InsertMode ColumnModeOff HexOff UnixReOn Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW "/" Key Ctrl+RIGHT ARROW ">"

First thanks for your help, but...

Bego wrote:Automatically would be strange. What happens if you really want to write <html> ?

When I write <html>, it would be nice when UE add </html> and but the cursor between <html> and </html>, so that I dont have to write the closing-tag.

I write <html> and get <html></html>.

Maybe you have not understood what I mean. My English is not that good.

your description really was strange. but now I got you.
Take this one:

Code: Select all: InsertMode ColumnModeOff HexOff UnixReOn Clipboard 9 StartSelect Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW Copy EndSelect Key Ctrl+RIGHT ARROW "></" Paste ">" Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW Key RIGHT ARROW Clipboard 0

EDIT: at my example, write "<html" without the > and then let it run.

You can do similar with tags... somehow....

Code: Select all: InsertMode ColumnModeOff HexOff UnixReOn ">" Find Up "<" IfFound Clipboard 9 Key RIGHT ARROW SelectWord Copy Find ">" Key LEFT ARROW Key RIGHT ARROW "</" Paste ">" Find Up "<" Key LEFT ARROW Clipboard 0 EndIf

Hey, I wrote this macro. It also works fine even if you have attributes in your tag. Try it.

Yes, even better :-)

The last macro mentioned did not work so well for me (maybe because of changes in the newer version of UltraEdit), but it was close. Here's my version:

Code: Select all: InsertMode ColumnModeOff HexOff UnixReOn ">" Find Up "<" IfFound Clipboard 9 Key RIGHT ARROW SelectWord Copy Find ">" Find ">" Key LEFT ARROW "</" Paste Find Up "<" Key LEFT ARROW Clipboard 0 Find ">" Key RIGHT ARROW EndIf

Hi,
Actually the recently opened tag gets closed but it is not closing the previous tag on the next execution of the Macro.
Kindly, update the coding asap

For EX:-
If we open tag and tag as below
 sample document for reference

And when we apply the macro we get the output as
 sample document for reference 

Here we need to close both the and Tags.

vastek, the macros posted here are designed for closing just the last tag. For a task like you posted a script would be necessary because with a macro that is impossible to realize. Even a script solution is hard to code because lots of other tags can be between the opening tag which should be closed and the current position of the cursor. Some of these embedded tags can be empty elements like or <img src="...">, others can be block elements with closing tag optional in HTML, but required in XHTML like <li>, , <td>, ... So the script would need to read in worst case entire structure of the entire HTML or XHTML file, interpret it depending on type of file, handle error conditions like missing closing tags or wrong order of closing tags (... is allowed in HTML, but not in XHTML) to finally find out if a closing tag is missing and which one.

BTW: UEStudio has this feature built-in. It's available in the HTML toolbar and has the name HTML Close Tag and which works also for XHTML and XML files. So if you need that often, you should think about upgrading from UltraEdit to UEStudio.

Dear Mofi,

Thanks for your reply and yes it is used only for closing last tag.

I got the required info. Thanks for your effort.
