Hi

My editor does not automatically suggest tags as I type.
I have the "use code completion" box ticked under tools -> preferences

I have found the same thing, but only in certain circumstances depending on how I performed the typing. Could you describe step-by-step exactly what is happening.

Hi Brian

I'll try my best ...

I type and to my knowledge if I type a list

<ul>
<li> shouldn't the editor automatically suggest or complete it as I am typing?

and at the same time according to my settings it should automatically close the tag and add </li>

I am simply testing with a simply html document. I had the free version and I am sure it suggested tags etc which is why I bought it :(

Hope that helps.

I'm headed to work, but I'll be using Editor today. I'll pay attention to the autocomplete and see what I encounter.

Ok thank you.
I thought I was in the support area.
Did not realize it was a forum / community

Thanks again.

Click on "Tools" then "Preferences"
Now make sure the "Use code completion" and the "Automatically close code completion tags" is checked on the "General" tab.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you Eric.

Please see my original post with screen shot :)

I closed the program. Started it up again and selected the file i am working on to open ( open existing file )

I received the error shown in the screen shot. I am sure this must be part of the problem. Maybe something went wrong during the installation process?
