Is there a plugin for Pluma (RIP Gedit) to highlight matching HTML tags?

That'd be neat. I couldn't find one using google though. Anyone heard or seen something for Pluma or wanna make a plugin? (Pluma is the text editor for Mate Desktop. Mate Desktop is a fork of Gnome 2, so Pluma is a fork of Gnome 2's Gedit).
