How do I jump to the matching tag, when editing HTML in Emacs?

Question

Suppose I\'m editing a very long and messy HTML file. With my cursor at an open tag, is there a way to jump to its closing tag?

Answer 1

And if you're using sgml-mode or its derivatives (e.g. html-mode):

sgml-skip-tag-forward is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ``sgml-mode.el'`.

It is bound to

C-c C-f

or

C-c

and bound to the menu bar:

From emacslisp:

(sgml-skip-tag-forward arg)

Skip to end of tag or matching closing tag if present. With prefix argument arg, repeat this arg times. Return t if after a closing tag.
