Emacs matching tags highlighting

Question

When Paren Match Highlighting (in the Options menu) is enabled, it nicely highlights matched parentheses. Is there something like this but for XML tags? For example, if I had:

<para> lksjdflksdjfksdjf </para>

it would highlight both tags if my point was anywhere inside one of the tags (even including the less-than and greater-than signs).

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

Mike Spindel has written a minor mode, hl-tags-mode, which provides this feature.

One more question. Any idea how to switch the color of highlighting? Say from the current pink to yellow? Thanks! – Steere

Sure, try this: (set-face-background 'show-paren-match-face "Yellow") – Iiette
