Ok thanks. I had tried that but didn't have any luck. Kept saying "no fold
found" when I swtiched to foldmethod=syntax. I'll have to go back and slowly
build up a valid .vimrc that works.

Question: Ultimatley I want code folding in html files (and preferebly later
haml/erb) should using foldmethod=sytnax work for any file that it
recognizes the syntax?

Thanks again
