HTML tags don't match

The second one is using the built in HTML package instead of Handlebars, right?

Unfortunately I have no idea why isn't this tag pair highlighting available in the Handlebars package, it's probably something specific to the built in HTML package which is not inherent to the syntax definition which Handlebars is extending.

I'll close this for now as I don't know how to add this functionality to Handlebars, but if you feel like digging into the problem and provide some pointers I'm happy to discuss!

Workaround

Use BracketHighlighter. It's superior to default tag matching anyway.

On a side note, this shouldn't really be closed just because we don't know how to solve it yet.

Thanks @designorant and you're right, I'll reopen in case someone can chime in with some pointers!

Thanks @designorant 👍

I've added the BracketHighlighter package workaround to the README (thanks @designorant). Closing the issue as it's very unlikely that I'll ever get around to work on this given that there's a perfect solution (and this issue is referenced from the README now), but of course PRs are still welcome.

The only downside to this is that in order for the BracketHighlighter: Select Bracket Content command to work the cursor has to be on the tag rather than on the tag content you want to select. ctrl+shift+a in HTML works when the cursor is on the tag content.
