Notepad++ Jump between opening and closing html tags

Question

If I've currently got a html tag highlighted in Notepad++, is there a way to automatically jump to the closing tag and vice-versa?

Solution

Yes there is, you can use the "html tag" plugin and do ctrl + t

From the plugin's description:

This plug-in provides two core functions to Notepad++: HTML and XML tag matching, like the built-in brace matching (Ctrl+B / Shift+Ctrl+B) HTML entity encoding/decoding (example: e to é and vice versa) Author: Martijn Coppoolse Source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/HTMLTag/HTMLTag%20plugin%20v0.3/HTMLTag_plugin_v0.3.0_unicode.zip/download

If you nested the HTML tags correctly with start and end tag, you can see a + or - sign on left side of Notepad++.

This plugin is extremely slow and crashes when used on ending tags in a very large XML file (20k lines).
