HTML & CSS VSCode Automated Close Tag Question

When I type <span>, or basically any starting tag, there will instantly be the closing tag created after it </span> so now looking like <span></span>
This is very efficient for when I am starting the document with <html><css><head><body> and all of that.
However, say there is a text here that says DETROIT.
I want to put <strong> tags around that, to emphasize it. So when I click before DETROIT and I type <strong>, it creates the closing tag </strong> so now it looks like <strong></strong>DETROIT.
Is there a way I can do a starting tag before a block of text, like DETROIT, and have either NO automated closing tag, or a way to press a button to move the closing tag forward a block, to become <strong>DETROIT</strong>
..without me having to delete the closing tag and rewriting it after the block of text?
I hope I explained this well but if you need any clarification please ask me!
 
Hmm please correct me if I am wrong.. You want it to add both beginning tag and closing tag around a word automatically?

This really depends on what IDE you are using I believe.

Sorry I really should have mentioned I am using VS Code!
I guess this question is more software oriented than coding oriented.
I wanted to either stop the automation of automatically creating the closing tag after typing the > of the opening tag, or press a keyboard button to make that automated closing tag go after the block of text proceeding it.

Honestly, you did in your title. I wasn't paying attention. My apologies. I'm not all too familiar with VSCode.

But, maybe have a look at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-htmltagwrap
