For authoring php/html - in Windows I use Notepad++ and in Linux I use gedit/bluefish But my primary use of vim is when using a console or am connected via ssh to a remote server. I do edit php/html in vim in those cases but for authoring, I use something else. For pretty formatting of html, actually I use php DOMDocument class and have it dump the DOM with formatting. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
