Question

While editing HTML/ASPX/ASCX etc in visual studio 2005; whenever I select an html tag, visual studio highlights the entire tag in black and bold; the black I’m not so fussed about but the bold changes the length of the line and really messes up the formatting.

Is there a way to disable this?

Thanks,
Chris

In VS2010: Select menu Tools - Options, select Environment / Fonts and Colors, look for Brace Matching (Rectangle) in the Display items list. Uncheck the Bold checkbox and click on Ok to confirm.
