As far as I know, BBEdit doesn't know (nor care) what application your
HTML was created by. All it cares about is whether or not it's valid
and/or well-formed HTML. If your code does not validate, it's going to
be pretty hard for BBEdit to know how to balance (and sometimes even
create fold points, etc.). For example, if you create this in BBEdit,
you can't balance the div tags:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 10" />
</head>
<body>
<div>This is some stuff
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
See that close p tag? It's not valid there, and as such, you can't
balance the div tags (div cannot contain a close p tag without a
corresponding open p tag, so that can't be a div element, and as such,
can't be balanced). If you get rid of the bad markup, you'll be able
to balance the tags properly. Markup -> Check -> Document Syntax
should help.
