Situation: HTML, Plaintext and Markdown editing text blocks, the active tag is not always underlined.
What would be nice and standard is active tag gets a special background color.
Taking it to a professional coding environment, tmTheme file could include diminishing color-tone emphasis for active grandchild-child-parent-grandparent tags. Say the guide is white or black (light and dark), then code-line Guide highlighting stands out with diminishing shading as one’s eyes move from active grandchild to active grandparent tag.
Can Sublime handle color coding for four hierarchies in a simple html tag cascade?
Web editors all follow the tag cascade. We are just asking for Sublime to display the top four (4) items in tag (and tab, see below) cascades. Sublime knows just what to do when you enter ‘</’. So sublime could offer Guide highlighting to visually show the active html and markdown tag cascade. Not exclusively, either: HAML. PHP and everything else with a cascade hierarchy could really use that enhancement. A Sublime universal coding backbone.
ST3’s limited theme options for tags (that also totally ignore most-recent active tab hierarchies): tm themes are off-track (though not completely irrelevant), but showing here to illustrate a somewhat unfriendly aspect of an otherwise excellent set of built in coding considerations provided for Sublime users.
