Would be nice to have bracket matching on < and > in html files. Should be able to use the JS bracket matching code (originally done in bug 363521). Related to bug 472311.
See also bug 484338.
If this is just going to match angle brackets, I don't see it as being very useful. I don't typically have an element tag that is very long or broken up over multiple lines. Highlighting matching tags would be far more useful.
Some of the ARIA stuff can add quite a few attributes, and your > can get lost in the noise. An example from https://www.canada.ca/en.html: <a href="#immigration" class="item gl-menu" tabindex="-1" aria-posinset="2" aria-setsize="8" role="menuitem" aria-haspopup="true">Immigration<span class="expicon glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down"></span></a> An example of a long image url from https://www.gov.uk/: <img alt="" role="presentation" style="position: absolute; left: -9999em; height: 0px; width: 0px;" src="https://assets.digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk/frontend/homepage/no-cache/base-js-8337212354871836e6763a41e615916c89bac5b3f1f0adf60ba43c7c806e1015.gif"> etc. Also, say you forgot the > in that first example. The < would match the end of the span tag, and you would notice that something was amiss... which would be nice: <a href="#immigration" class="item gl-menu" tabindex="-1" aria-posinset="2" aria-setsize="8" role="menuitem" aria-haspopup="true"Immigration<span class="expicon glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down"></span></a> Anyhow, I do agree that generally it would be cooler and more useful to have tag-matching. It must be fairly easy to add < > matching?

Double-click bracket matching would still be nice. It just feels like it is "broken" in the html editor because I am used to having it in the js editor.
