This is an interesting issue

<p>blah</p> is easier to 'see' than <p"blah">

But in a big HTML you'll still be lost if you don't use indenting or a tool. At the end of the file you'll still have several close-tags one way or the other

One way would be to rewrite this in an easier way (but less canonical). In math there are several ways of doing that, for example:

Operator precedence and some defaults simplify, so you can write 3+2x(3+4) instead of (3+(2x(3+4)))

But it would probably make things worse for a text markup language.

Edit: changing asterisks for x
