Is there a tool which I can use to see missing tag in HTML?
For e.g. if I wrote <div> but forgot to end it with </div> so is there a tool for this? I have a very large HTML file and I suspect because of missing tag I am having problems in displaying so need some tool that can identify it.
Try to validate page on W3 validator (validate via file uplod)it will show all errors.
You can use the Auto-Format feature (Ctrl+K+D) of Microsoft Visual Studio - it reformats your code so that you can easily see whether there are missing tags. I love this feature, it often comes in handy.
You can use http://validator.w3.org/ or notepad++ is the best option to check div's.
Any tool which gives you basic text editing tools can tell you this very easily.Some useful tools are:
1. Visual Studio
2. Notepad++
3. MS word(yes this also shows)
4. Front Page(very old player in this field)
Lots of many more.
Above of all, open your page in chrome or Mozilla then press F12, see the code and fix it.

I am writing a website in HTML This is what visual studio tells me for school and the CSS file's doesn't recognize my snap-scroll-type tag and my snap-scroll-align tag. I am writing in Atom but because of this problem i tried visual studio and it still doesn't recognizes the tags.
This is my code
It's just a VSCode bug I'd assume, try searching for something within the marketplace such as CSS intellisense.

I also don't know if you're utilizing it correctly.
There have been multiple questions asked on SO regarding unknown properties in VS Code. You should be able to whitelist valid properties if necessary, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/54133730/2029959
As pointed out on VS Code's Github repo - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/47775#issuecomment-420082168 - it actually shouldn't be an issue anymore as MDN data should be linked to. (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/48443)
If - on the other hand - your code doesn't work in the browser, please update your question and show us your code or submit a link to see.
I'm trying to track down two missing closing div tags in a 2500 line html document, obviously I'm doing this manually but I remember that Visual Studio helpfully highlights the closing tag of the currently selected tag.
Don't have VS available but wondered if anyone knew of similarly helpful tool for this kind of task?
//update
Should probably say that I'm already using a validator and an editor with syntax highlighting - mainly I'm curious to find out what others use.
I like Firefox's add-on HTML Validator:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html-validator/
It works and you never have to leave your browser or copy/paste markup.
W3C also has a great validation service.

I absolutely love Geany. Haven't used it in a few months (forced to work on a .net project), but IIRC, it will do exactly what you need.

Ok so this should be simple. How do you make visual studio 2010 not modify the other part of an HTML tag-pair? I know there were a bunch of settings to hit for previous versions of Visual Studio to disable before. But this feature is destroying my html when VS can't parse it properly.
I'm not sure if that's exactly what you are searching for:
Tools
Options
Text Editor
HTML
Formatting
Uncheck the box for Auto insert close tag
I know this is a very old question, but I was searching for the same thing in 2020. The setting to turn this off/on can be found via the following steps:
User Settings
Extensions
HTML
Mirror Cursor on Matching Tag.
Hope this might actually help someone. This stuff destroyed my productivity when writing HTML.
Is there an IDE that highlights each HTML closing tag (as you highlight over the opening tag, for example), similar to how many IDE's highlight where the opening/closing braces are for functions and such?
There are quite many IDEs that can do that and it's only up to you which one will you choose.
For example I often use NetBeans and Eclipse for HTML+CSS and PHP, sometime VisualStudio (for ASP.NET). For very fast editing, or something small I use Notepad++. All of them supports highlighting closing and beginning tags when marked. Also Dreamweaver is good for HTML, but I prefer to use OpenSource or freeware software (except for Visual Studio, but Express editions are also available free of charge).
So as you can see there are many options. I have to say that Notepad++ is quite powerful tool, very hight customizable, but for bigger HTML projects I use NetBeans due to it's code completion, syntax highlighting and other useful tools.

There is NotePad++ amongst many other for sure.
Zend Studio does this as well, so I'm assuming Eclipse PDT has it.
Yes lots, you can use notepad++, aptana if you have a better machine, pspad
if you can use aptana and add the ftp site so you can have full access of everything ;)
Hi can anyone recommend a good free html editor.
I want something that will let me wrap sections of code in <p> tags with a shortcut for example. It would make my life easier.
I'm a developer so I want something where I'll be writing most of the html by hand.
Thanks for the help,
Alex
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express is just great for beginners, and has this functionality.
Netbeans has this functionality. It works with many languages including HTML. Get it from http://netbeans.org/ Its free
In Emacs' html-mode you're typing along, hit C-c RET, type your paragraph, hit C-c / to close the paragraph, and keep on hacking.
You can find this tip, and many more, here.
you can use Bluefish. This is a free software text editor. The "Auto tag closing" is include in the software : http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/manual/ch07s02.html
Official website : http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/
Hope it will help you!
Very simple, but with shortcuts for the most common XHTML blocks: Rejbrand Text Editor.
You press Alt+Enter to insert <p></p>; any selection will be included inside the tags. Ctrl+Enter inserts <br />, Ctrl+I inserts <li></li> etc. Ctrl+n inserts <hn></hn>.
Programmer's Notepad 2 gives you the easiness you're asking for, plus it also writes for ALL other programming languages with syntax highlighting to ALL and it adds the closing tags of HTML for you and all the optimizing stuff. Plus it is FREE. It also is VERY portable being only 2.4 megabytes! You can download it from here:
