geditplugins
Is there a Gedit plugin for highlighting HTML matching tag? If so then please suggest me.
For example in this sample:
<div> //div1
<div> //div2
</div> //end of div2
</div> //end of div1
if my cursor is at end of div1 then I want div1 tag to be highlighted. So that I know if I have closed my tags correctly or not.
Library necessaries to build the configuration files
sudo apt-get install intltool libtool
Dependency necessary to compile this plug-ins
sudo apt-get install gedit-dev
Build the configuration file
touch config.rpath
./autogen.sh
Configure and compile
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
If you are using a 64bit distribution, you also need to pass --libdir=/usr/lib64
to ./configure script.
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
With a 64bit distribution, I also had to create two symbolic links, otherwise the plugin would not show up:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/gedit/plugins/latex.plugin /usr/lib/gedit/plugins/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/gedit/plugins/latex /usr/lib/gedit/plugins/
First, I'll answer the question about the specific plugins. gedit-developer-plugins is available in the official Ubuntu archive, and I'd suggest installing it from there.
clickconfig, on the other hand, unfortunately does not seem to have been ported to to Gedit 3 and is not compatible.
More generally, for Gedit 3 (which is in Ubuntu 11.10 and above) local plugins should be installed to ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins The .plugin file must be in that exact directory, sub-directories are not scanned. For instance, here's the file layout of mine:
$ tree ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
/home/andrew/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
├── markdown-preview
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── __init__.pyc
│ └── locale
│ └── fr

I recommend the plugin "Zen Coding for Gedit" for fast HTML coding.
