Auto-closing of tags with "</" not working in cli Emacs

[echosa]

If I run emacs in a GUI (Mac OS X) then typing <span> </ results in the closing </span> being auto-completed for me. This does not happen in cli Emacs (run with emacs -nw).

It is a normal behaviour to prevent bad "suprises" when you copy and paste. You can force autocomplete with the var : web-mode-autocompletes-flag
(when you copy/paste in text mode ... you don't insert one time N chars but N times 1 char ... )

Ok, thanks. I wonder why this was set by default in my GUI Emacs but not CLI...

the related code :

(defcustom web-mode-autocompletes-flag (display-graphic-p)
"Handle autocompletes."
:type 'bool
:group 'web-mode)

web-mode-autocompletes-flag is only setted when emacs is runned with a graphic ui

That would definitely be it. Its working fine in CLI for me at the moment, after setting that flag. Thanks!
