Question

I’ve yet to find a setting that will enable auto-insertion of these closing tags, similar to how closing HTML tags are handled.

Is this even possible?

Answer 1

Just hit tab after if

{% if<tab>

and you get

    {% if <cursor> %}

    {% endif %} 

This works for many tags: for, block, filter, spaceless, with, but inexplicably not blocktrans, autoescape, and comment changes to <comment></comment>
