I am looking for a way to colorize the HTML start/end tags in VSCode so it's easier to read. I installed the Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 Extension and configured my settings.json file as follows to support colorized angle brackets:
"bracketPairColorizer.consecutivePairColors": [
"()",
"[]",
"",
["<", "</"],
["<", "/>"],
[
"Gold",
"Orchid",
"LightSkyBlue"
],
"Red"
],
This works as long as all of the elements have an end tag. However, if a void element is present, then the colored tags no longer line up correctly as seen below.
Are there any workarounds to keep the brackets highlighted with the correct colors regardless of void elements?

A closing slash on void tags in HTML has no meaning, does nothing, and is ignored by browsers so putting it there is pointless. That some style guides might require it, as you say, is silly at best.

@Rob I understand. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to prevent the void elements from breaking the colorized element pairs, without adding the unnecessary closing slash to each one of them.
