But, in order to do syntax-based folding, the syntax needs to be set

IMO.
HTML mainly uses regions to provide the text formatting tricks that
it adds (underlined <a> text, bolded <b> text, etc.). My guess is
that the main reason it doesn't work the same way the XML syntax does
is that HTML, as an SGML application, doesn't require matched closing
tags (so writing a grammar for it in terms of syntax regions can be
quite complicated).
I'll keep trying to figure it out or maybe I'll just stick to
KomodoEdit with the vim mode enabled. 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"
That plugin can apparently handle the filetypes:
xml, docbk, xsl, html, and xhtml
But, since the built-in filetype plugins for those filetypes each set up
their own indent-handling, you need to override it by claiming that it's
already done.
So, if you want to handle xml, docbk, and html, you need to:
( -- directions from your link -- )
1. copy that plugin's xml.vim file to your own ~/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim
2. Link (or copy, under Windows) to ~/.vim/ftplugin/docbk.vim and html.vim
( -- then the part that you asked about above -- )
3. For everything in #2 (docbk and html in my example), override the
indent handling:
for type in docbk html ; do
echo "let b:did_indent = 1" > ~/.vim/indent/${type}.vim
done
Assuming you're on non-Windows, I'd probably actually handle both things
the same way:
cp xml.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/
echo "let b:did_indent = 1" > ~/.vim/indent/xml.vim
for type in docbk html ; do
ln -s xml.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/${type}.vim
ln -s xml.vim ~/.vim/indent/${type}.vim
done
