Hi Dennis
You have hit the nail on the head and the weakest link is me. I had
not realised there were two different balance commands. I tend to
use keyboard shortcuts and can only assume that I sometimes use
command-B and sometimes command-option-B which would explain why tags
balance some times and not others. This makes sense because I cannot
always remember whether the option key is involved and just use trial
and error, in this case error.
Thanks for the help
Toby

Thanks for taking an interest. It is not a problem with a
specific document it is that sometimes BBEdit balances html tags
(as long as they are actually balanced) and at other times it
won't balance them anywhere in any document. I can say "New>HTML
Document" click between the <body> and </body> tags choose
Balance and instead of balancing it beeps.
Jim can certainly answer this better than I can, but I wonder if
you're using View->Balance when Markup->Balance Tags is better
suited for your HTML document type. I am unsure of the specifics,
but I do know that View->Balance may not produce the results you
want when trying to balance HTML tags.
In my personal experience, Markup->Balance Tags seems to work very
well. Every time I've ever had it fail has ended up being an error
in my markup.
