Does any OSX HTML editor allow for selection of HTML containers?

That is, if you have a nasty mess of nested tables, each with many TR elements, it is often excruciating to find the corresponding /TR closing tag. If the code is not balanced correctly, the it is even harder.

I have BBedit, but can't figure out if it does this for HTML. If you're in PHP mode, then if you click on a curly brace, it highlights everything between it and the corresponding curly brace, but not for HTML.

I've got Subthaedit, but it doesn't do this either AFAICT.

It's kinda a different market than you might be looking for, but Adobe GoLive has a block editor (I forget exactly what they call it) that's good for this sort of thing... works kinda like a Finder list view, with container elements instead of folders.

Another reason not to use tables for layout.
