Description

Hello,

I'm trying to get the XML validation to work with this extension but it is not doing anything, despite trying to follow the instructions.

The Supported VS Code settings part of the extension's description says to disable editor.autoClosingTags; that parameter does not exist in the latest VS Code. There is Brackets, Comments, Delete, Overtype, and Quotes. I've also included a screenshot of all options. Even manually adding in editor.autoClosingTags in my settings file has it become dim, signaling that no such option exists.

autoclose options

I recommend that the instructions be corrected. Also, there is a spelling issue with it; it says "turned of for this" when it should say "turned off for this".

Research direction

Open the extension description and locate the “Supported VS Code settings” section. Verify the current VS Code settings and correct the reference to editor.autoClosingTags, along with the “turned of” spelling error. Done means the instructions accurately describe a supported setting and use “turned off”.
