I really like the method of teaching this site offers but also hated the way IDE works for HTML.
When I type <h1>
, I expect the IDE to close it automatically for me.
Is there any way to make it do that?
(stared because, without it, it makes it h1 size)
Mod edit: You can post code, including HTML, to the forum without it being rendered by using the appropriate formatting.
Hello @kadirkirisci44790430, welcome to the forums! No, I don’t think there is a way to automatically generate self closing tags in the CC IDE.
Welcome to the community!
As @codeneutrino says, the Codecademy editor does not do a lot of the lifting for you - unlike a “full” editor or IDE, where you may get closing tags automatically and some degree of autocomplete.
It’s a bit like driving a car. To begin with, you’re expected to do everything yourself so that you understand what you’re doing and are in control - you change gear, control the speed of the vehicle, complete a parking manoeuver etc…
Once you reach an acceptable level of competence, then you can - at your discretion - begin to rely on “driver assistance” features like cruise control or parking assist.
The lack of assistance from the Codecademy editor is the same thing.
