Since it bothered me that that solution required sending the HTML to an external site to validate, I googled 'html tidy vim'. Turns out, 'html tidy' support is mostly built-in (see the first comment on the wiki entry for 'Cleanup your HTML'[1]). If you install tidy[2], a minimal "see the cool things it can do" example is: (open some HTML file... then:) :compiler tidy :make :copen Thanks to Ben F for the jump start. Hopefully 'tidy' and 'quickfix' will pick up the rest. -- Best, Ben H [1] http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Cleanup_your_HTML [2] http://tidy.sf.net -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
