I would like for Notepad++ to add the closing tag when I finish typing the open tag. I know there is a plugin to do this for XML but it doesn't work on my HTML files and I have yet to find one that does.

Try going into TextFX / TextFX Settings and check 'auto close XHTML tags'. This makes it work in plain HTML files too.

Also, the document language needs to be set to HTML, if it isn't already. – w3d Dec 16 '10 at 10:59
Thanks! Notepad++ is a great tool but looks like the authors are tough guys, such things should be on by default. – axk Nov 25 '11 at 11:31
