I have some large html files I have to deal with and having folding comes in handy. I thought about trying this http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1397 but I didn't understand these instructions: "when you have filetype indent on. Then create a ~/.vim/indent directory and for every link (copy) you made do echo "let b:did_indent = 1" > ~/.vim/indent/xml.vim" -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
