Why my tag will not be automatically closed?

Hi, as shown in the video, tags will be automatically closed in workspace. However, it does not work here, I wonder if there is a function I need to turn on? Thank you!

Hi Chenglu.

Workspaces isn't perfect and sometimes the tags simply wont close. I've ran into this issue, too. You will have to try and remember to check to see if your tags are closing as you write your code.

Also, there are some html tags that do not require closing tags.

I hope this helps, -Sean
