VScode isn't highlighting html close tags in PHP files

Question

VSCode isn't highlighting HTML close tags after click on it in PHP files. In HTML file all is fine. Example:

HTML file, oneclick on div (highligh open and close tag)

HTML file, doubleclick on div (count all occurrences)

And PHP file, it doesn't matter - oneclick or doubleclick - it always count all occurerences

I'm not sure, it's bug or feature but I would be really happy if I could find html close tags in my php file (like in html file). Especially in more complex projects.

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem and it's very frustrating. As temporary solution I've installed the extension Auto Rename Tag and when I want to know which close tag belongs to an opening tag, I change div to diva and see which close tag changes to diva and then change it back to div.

EDIT:

Alternatively, you can also set editor.renderIndentGuides to true in your user settings:

{    
    //some other settings
    "editor.renderIndentGuides": true
}

This is how it looks like now:
