Hi,
Is there a possibility to turn on autocomplete ALL HTML tags with a forward slash “/”?

Sublime Text 3 adds “/” to all of the closing tags except i.e. <br>, <img>, <hr>, <meta> or <link> so when I type img and then I press Tab key, it gives me:
<img src="" alt="">
…instead of:
<img src="" alt=""/>

Sublime text 3 works fine.

Thank you for your answer.

I know that some tags don’t have their closing tags with “/”. That’s true, but I have some reasons why I need these forward slashes in all tags and I don’t want to put them manually.

<img>, <br>, … are very correct html without the slashes. I don’t know why we might want to complete those in a different way (xml style) in general.
