 * Is tag highlighting not possible? For example, matching open and closing tags
   in HTML.

 * It should highlight all valid html code.
    Could you give a code example of what
   is not highlighting correctly?

 * matching tags.
    <div> <– If this line is selected <h1>… </h1> <p>…</p> </div>
   <– The matching closing tag will highlight.

 * This works for me with match tags turned on.
 * Open the settings, click “…more” and check the box: “**Match Tags** _highlight
   matching html tag pairs (not shortcodes)_“
