It's there for me, too, when I have a document that looks like the one in
your example, where there are already tags existing.

For example, if I (as suggested by some other users) put <div> at the very
top of the document, the menu appears. However, if it's just plain text, the
menu does not appear, even though the language is set to HTML.

Here are examples so demonstrate.

http://www.cs.wright.edu/~mvanhorn/graphics/with-div-has-menu.png

The first one listed above is plain text, where the default language is set
to HTML, but the "Insert Tag..." menu item doesn't appear in the pop-up. In
the second image listed above, I've put a <div> tag at the top, and now the
menu item appears.

It seems that BBEdit is intuiting that I am editing HTML in the second
instance, but not in the first. I would have thought that the menu item
would appear as long as the language is set to HTML, but I'm guessing the
language setting is only used for the color coding, and doesn't apply to the
contextual menus. Is there anyway to change that?
