Learning by doing: Add closing HTML Tag


Best to learn is to do some lessons.
So i will show my steps creating an macro for others.

I am not saying that this is the best way to do it, it is just an start.

If you have an better way to do it, or other suggestions, just reply



Purpose:
Take the HTML tag on the left and put an closing tag on the right.

For example write <HtmL>| and execute the macro to get <HtmL>|</HtmL>


Handling:
Save this an EmEditor macro as *.jsee (JavaScript)
or add it as an macro snippet into the snippet plugin
and add an shortcut just as Ctrl+.



Code:

////HowTo: write an opening HTML tag (like: <html>) and execute this macro.
////Awaited: macro should write the closing tag for you. (e.g. </html>)

////////// Script:
////Pause update of the view till script is finished:
Redraw = false;


////Store current cursor position:
Line = document.selection.GetActivePointX( eePosView );
Colu = document.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosView );


////Use find to find the opening angle bracket "<" of the tag on the left:
document.selection.Find("<",eeFindPrevious);
////Erase the highlighting of found strings:
document.HighlightFind=false;


////Select the word on the right of the opening angle bracket:
document.selection.SelectWord();
////Store this selected word into an var called TAG:
TAG = document.selection.text;

////Jump back to start (behind open tag):
document.selection.SetActivePoint( eePosView, Line, Colu, false );
////Or to EOL if you prefer:
//document.selection.EndOfLine( );

////Add some text:
document.selection.text = " </" + TAG + ">";

////Jump back to start (between open and close tag):
document.selection.SetActivePoint( eePosView, Line, Colu, false );
