    Does anyone know if it's possible to get vertical "help lines" to show up in Eclipse, so when you indent code (especially long HTML content) you can easily see where the corresponding tags are?

    If so, how the hell do I switch it on?!:)

    If you move your mouse to the brace, it should highlight the corresponding brace. If you are editing in the correct editor, it should also auto-indent or highlight for you.

    If it is a matter of physical formatting, in the preferences select "Text Editors" and click on "Show whitespace".

    Cheers Hobbes, I know these tricks. I just like my vertical lines (like in Programmer's Notepad, for example). Someone in the office mentioned the Aptana plugin and said this was one way of getting such help lines, mentioning that Eclipse has no native support for them (I was hoping he was wrong).
