In case you don't use it yet, there's a relatively new quick fix for HTML - the one that fixes mismatches in opening/closing tags.
If you change an opening tag, it suggests to change its closing tag and vice versa.
Earlier, in IntelliJ IDEA 5.0 we had only one half of this quick fix - it suggested to fix what you've just edited, that was not that wise. Adding correct option has made this quick fix really handy.
For those who write HTML code in IntelliJ IDEA: rejoice!
There's a new feature in IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 ("Demetra") that you would love once you try it, just as we do. Simple and absolutely essential:

IntelliJ IDEA 5.0 release is getting closer and our website content manager has usurped the web-team whiteboard!!
Sometimes I ask myself: why can't I code html in some popular html editor? Why do I stick to IntelliJ IDEA (Java IDE, god forbid!).
There are two main reasons. Two features that you can't live without after you've tried them once. Features so obvious you can't believe other editors still do not have them.
1. Autosave.
I do not know any other editor who would relieve me of endless Ctrl+S'ing during work.
2. Block highlighting. Dreamweaver hightlights blocks - but only in the design mode, where I see results of my coding efforts. In IDEA you can highlight blocks in the right place - where you code:
