I think you can change the unmatched tag, unmatched attribute, etc.  
styling for filetypes.xml to use appropriate colours, similar to the  
SciTE screenshot. The relevant styles have the prefix html_ at the  
moment.

Then one of us can integrate the filetypes.xml changes into  
highlighting.c (this is the default, overridden by  
/usr/local/share/geany/filetypes.xml, then optionally by  
~/.geany/filedefs).

I agree with you & Rowan Lewis that the XML style should not use a list  
of known tags & attributes, and doesn't need support for scripting  
languages, so we will need to separate these things for HTML and  
DocBook. I think much of the styling setup can still be shared for all  
markup types, but change the html_prefix to a generic markup name.

An option would be good - it works for the coding style where matching  
braces have the same indentation.

Could you give more information about this? I haven't noticed a  
problem. With the Find dialog?
