HTML/XHTML Editing in Vim

HTML.zip ( Version: 0.40.1 - 69K - Last modified: Nov 26, 2012 - 12:09:37 AM ) – Vim mappings to make editing HTML/XHTML files quick and easy.

Description

This is a set of HTML/XHTML mappings (macros) and menus for Vim 7 or later. The mappings will be local to the buffer so they won't interfere if you edit other files in the same vim session.

Installation

To install from the zip file

Extract HTML.zip (Includes HTML.vim, HTML.txt, browser_launcher.vim, MangleImageTag.vim, and the toolbar bitmaps.) in your runtime directory (~/.vim for Unix, $HOME/vimfiles for Windows; see ":help 'runtimepath'"). Then run ":helptags <directory>/doc" within vim.

Automatic installation

WARNING!

Vimball is seriously broken, so it is strongly recommend against using a .vba file to install this plugin. Among the problems are:

The Vimball archiver does not properly preserve file encodings, so the menus for the character entities will not look right (at least when using the GTK or GNOME versions of gVim).
Vimball can not properly store binary data, so if you're on a Windows based system and you want to use the Vimball archive, you still need to manually install the pixmaps ZIP file provided below in your bitmaps directory after installing the Vimball.

Due to these problems, the .vba files here are provided only for historical reasons.

Download one of these three files (includes the same files as HTML.zip above — these archives require a recent version of Vimball):

Manual installation

Put "HTML.vim" ( 134K - Last modified: Nov 26, 2012 - 12:09:20 AM ) in your ftplugin/html subdirectory somewhere in your 'runtimepath', then install the files below that you want.

To install for old versions of Vim

Support for Vim 6 and earlier has been abandoned—the last version that supported Vim 5 is version 0.10, and the last version that supported Vim 6 is version 0.33.1.

Files

These files—except netscape-remote, the HTML version of the documentation, the ChangeLog, and wikipedia.vim—are included in the HTML.zip & HTML.vba files (see "installation" above).

Documentation:
- HTML.txt ( 46K - Last modified: Oct 13, 2011 - 01:21:04 PM )
  Place this file in the doc subdirectory somewhere in your 'runtimepath' (~/.vim/doc for Unix) and run ":helptags <directory>/doc". Then you'll be able to do ":help HTML.txt". (You may view the documentation as HTML here.)
- ChangeLog (text version)
  Revision notes for all the files listed here.
- Frequently Asked Questions (text version)
  This covers the most frequent support requests I get.
GUI Toolbar Bitmaps:
vim-html-pixmaps.zip ( 17K - Last modified: Apr 12, 2011 - 11:30:54 AM )
Extract this in the bitmaps directory somewhere in your 'runtimepath' (~/vim/bitmaps for Unix). (You may view a montage of the pixmaps here.)

Browser Launcher (for Unix/Linux):
- browser_launcher.vim ( 16K - Last modified: Apr 13, 2011 - 04:20:48 PM )
  Put browser_launcher.vim in one of the toplevel directories in your 'runtimepath' (such as ~/.vim for Unix).
- netscape-remote ( 18K )
  This file is optional, and deprecated. It is used by browser_launcher.vim when mozilla-xremote-client isn't found in the $PATH—when neither is found it will fall back to just using firefox/mozilla/netscape directly. To use it just compile it and put the binary somewhere in your $PATH. (This version is slightly tweaked by me. Unfortunately the original can no longer be found online.)
Auto-Update Image Tag Size Attributes:
MangleImageTag.vim (7.2K - Last modified: Jun 23, 2009 - 08:04:35 AM ) If this file is placed in one of the toplevel directories in your 'runtimepath' it will cause the ";mi" mapping to be defined.
