If nobody wants it, I am happy to never push those changes to Sigil master.

In my defense,

1. expanding abbreviations that use > and < can't be done in a plugin as feedback/expansion must be immediate or the file will end up non-well formed.

2. only things that help the majority of users - but that is what I am trying to gauge now!

3. Not really a super editor feature but it is built into most all web developer ides and vscode.

But if no one thinks it would be useful ...
