Thoughts: How about an admin function to enable/disable this "ability"?

Freddie says he will be doing this for the integration in beta4. I was planning to add it for the next version, but as freddie volunteered...

Also, is there any way to make it so that if you click the button again it checks to see if the previous tag is the same one you're clicking on and whether or not it's closed yet?

I will be adding this tonight. <quote>It was on the to do list, but didn't quite make it into the last release</quote>

And if it is closed it?

Hmm... perhaps... it would be easy to do, I'm just not sure that I would want to... I'll mull it over.

And *pants* is there any way to make it so that the button appears to be in a "down state" when enabled, so the above comes true..

Using <input type=button> buttons, there is no way to specify a 'down' appearence for the buttons. They would need to be images for this, which I don't want to do.

Thus eliminating the ned for a "close all tags" button...

I don't actually understand why this would remove the need for the 'close all tags' button... my users actually requested this specifically, so that they could close a {quote}{b}{i}{u} tag set with a single click.
