Hi, all. I've been using VIM since v3 but have not had any problems
with it for ..... a few /years/ now :-)
I use VIM to edit XML, and some of these files are huge - the
combination of folding and matchit's '%' mappings really make vim a
great XML editor/viewer.
In a shell script file, '%' works (e.g., if->then->else), but not in
HTML/XML files. Pressing '%' does nothing.
Vim on this box is Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Mar 19 2009
15:27:51). The version of matchit on this box is 1.13.2.
The following symlinks exist:
/home/bgh/.vim/doc/matchit.txt ->
/usr/share/vim/addons/doc/matchit.txt
/home/bgh/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim ->
/usr/share/vim/addons/plugin/matchit.vim
In vim, ":map %" shows this:
o % * v:<C-U>call<SNR>15_Match_wrapper('',1,'o')<CR>
v % * :<C-U>call<SNR>15_Match_wrapper('',1,'v')<CR>m'gv``
n % * :<C-U>call<SNR>15_Match_wrapper('',1,'n')<CR>
When I'm editing an XML file, and I try this:
let b:match_debug=100
...then press '%' on an XML element with children& a close tag later
in the file, the variable 'b:match_pat' suddenly gets a value:
(:),{:},\[:\],\/\*:\*\/,#if\%(def\)\=:#else\>:#elif\>:#endif\>
I have an Ubuntu 8.04 system with Vim 7.1, and matchit v1.11, and it
works for HTML and XML files.
while, on the 8.04 system, it looks far richer:
<:>,<\@<=!\[CDATA\[:]]>,<\@<=!--:-->,<\@<=?\k\+:?>,<\@<=\([^
\t>/]\+\)\%(\s\+[^>]*\%([^/]>\|$\)\|>\|$\):<\@<= /\([^
\t>/]\+\)>,<\@<=\%([^ \t>/]\+\)\%(\s\+[^/>]*\|$\):/>,
(all on one line)
Does anyone have any idea why matchit won't work in *ML for me?
Or, guidance on how to debug? Matchit seems to be installed correctly,
and reports no errors.
When debug is turned on, I get screenfuls of trace info on both the
8.04 system and the 9.04 system, but I don't know how to redirect or
capture it aside from painful mouse highlighting (of screen after
screen of data...not fun).
TIA - this is one I'd really like to solve.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a reply yet.
For matchit to work, it must be installed (if it is, it will appear in
the output of :scriptnames); you also need a b:match_words variable
appropriate for the current file. This is normally set by the ftplugin
for that filetype (i.e. in these cases, by $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/html.vim
or by $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/xml.vim). To "catch" cases where the ftplugin
doesn't yet know about matchit, I have found the following useful:
:au VimEnter * au FileType * if !exists('b:match_words')
\ | let b:match_words = &matchpairs | endif
In Vim 7.2.416 (running on openSUSE Linux 11.2, but that oughtn't to
make a difference), here's the value (all on one line) of my
b:match_words for HTML. (I haven't tried XML, but it could conceivably
be different, since the ftplugin is not the same):
<:>,<\@<=[ou]l\>[^>]*\%(>\|$\):<\@<=li\>:<\@<=/[ou]l>,<\@<=dl\>[^>]*\%(>\|$\):<\@<=d[td]\>:<\@<=/dl>,<\@<=\([^/][^
\t>]*
\)[^>]*\%(>\|$\):<\@<=/\1>
That's in a HTML file which has the following first line:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
The matchit version is 1.13.2, and has apparently not changed since
before Vim 7 even existed; the ftplugin/html.vim is dated 20 Jan 2009,
its "matchit-aware" section starts at line 68.
Best regards,
Tony.
