Hi,
in the *very* near future I will to hack a lot XML/XSLT/XSL/XMP...
stuff at work and I will do it with vim.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to install any binary
executable (with the exeption of the vim package, which is
already there) on the machine. I am allowed to install "text
files" (read: vim scripts and setups) in my $HOME.
Due to the lack of time I cannot go deep into "search and explore"-
mode to find THE working setup for "the best way" to edit
xml-like stuff with vim.
So I would be very happy if I could get some hints here to
speed things up a little...
Are there any things to prefer for such a task and worth to
check?
Thank you very much in advance for any<hint> ;)
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc
One plugin which I find useful for HTML / XHTML / XML and similar
languages is the CloseTag plugin
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=13 even if its
functionality is now available, though with somewhat more keystrokes,
from Vim's omnicompletion functionality. I would download it into
~/.vim/macros/ (on Unix) or ~/vimfiles/macros/ (on Windows) and then
invoke it by means of
au FileType html,xml runtime macros/closetag.vim
in your vimrc; if your national keyboard has no handy Ctrl-_ you may add
something like
map <F7> <C-_>
imap <F7> <C-_>
(without the -nore- part because we _want_ the remapping to happen) to
get the same functionality on an easily-found key.
Otherwise IMHO Vim (when compiled with Big or Huge features) comes with
quite good support out of the box -- but don't forget to enable (if you
didn't already) filetype detection, filetype plugins and the matchit
plugin, e.g. by having the lines
runtime vimrc_example.vim
runtime macros/matchit.vim
somewhere in your vimrc. (If you don't know whether matchit is enabled,
:verbose map %
will tell you.)
Best regards,
Tony.
