Courses Plus Student 3,855 PointsHow does he line up the opening and closing tags so when he separates them they are nicely indented on the same level?
He types an opening tag and it autofills a closing tag. Great. Then it looks like he hits enter twice and it lowers the closing tag but it is still lined up perfectly on the same indented level as the opening tag above it. When I hit enter (and I've tried shift and enter keys together also), it lowers the closing tag and indents it significantly. This doesn't look as good and is harder to follow. How does he just get the opening and closing tags to automatically line up so nicely?

For example, if you're using Atom text editor, you can install a special "beautify" package that will indent your structure as needed every time you save your project.
