I'm a novice at emacs use in general, and new to spacemacs, so I'm hoping this is just a case of missing a trick or two. I am working in a symlinked app on Mac OSX, not in the terminal.
I have a pretty much stock config of spacemacs, added a few extra layers, in evil-mode. I'm trying to do some work with HTML, using web-mode, and it isn't behaving entirely as described:
If I type <li I get a dropdown menu that completes words, but doesn't complete the open/close tag (is this intended behaviour, or is it supposed to complete your selection if you make one?).
If I type <li></ it will autocomplete properly to <li></li>, matching indicated behaviour. I have tried setting web-mode-tag-auto-close-style to 2 in dotspacemacs/userconfig () per this answer to allow completion at opening tag closure instead of closure tag opening (i.e. <li> --> <li></li>) but have had no luck getting it to work. Am I putting it in the wrong place or using the wrong syntax?
If I type d/s/ as in the example it results in <d/> instead of the indicated <div><span>|</div></span>. Yet if I type d TAB s TAB it produces <d>s</d>| and if I then scroll back to s and hit TAB again, it produces <d><s></s></d> I have not been able to find more detailed information about this function of web-mode, am I using it incorrectly?
