sorry, meant the latter.

Where exactly did you drop the script? xml plugins are sourced in the following order (on Unix):

$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIM/vimfiles/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIM/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/xml.vim
$HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/xml.vim

$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim


If your script is meant to /replace/ the default script, it should include, near the start,

if exists("b:did_ftplugin") | finish | endif
let b:did_ftplugin = 1

it does indeed contain that

and be located in an "early" directory. If it is meant to /supplement/ the default script without replacing it, it should not include the above lines, and it that case it should be in an "after-directory".

it looks like since I didn't have the "filtype plugin on" in my .vimrc, it didn't detect that I was editing a xml file, nor did I 'source' the xml.vim once I had the filetype plugin turned on. problem solved!

I would figure that with all of the XML/HTML file editing that is done with vim, that there would be a kitchen sink editor plugin with some features other than the ones in xml.vim... is there something that I'm not aware of out there, complete with Schema readers and such?

thank you for your help!!!

I don't know; I'm cc-ing this to the list.

Next time, please use "Reply to List" (if your mailer has it) or "Reply to All" (otherwise), because "Reply to Sender" doesn't allow other Vim users to see the reply and intervene.


Best regards,
