Navigate a large HTML file with Vim and ctags

Is it possible to generate a tag file with ctags (5.8) for a single, large HTML file (about 50 MB) so it can be easier开发者_如何学JAVA navigated within Vim?

If you issue the following command you will see what tags are produced for a given language.

ctags --list-kinds=html
a  named anchors
f  JavaScript functions

If those tags were not good enough there is always the possibility to add to more with RegEx.

If you want to navigate to tag names (as said in the comment), then I suppose that simple search would work better. An index where you have registered every occurrence of <p>,<span> and so on, would be much larger that the indexed file itself.

To find a tag (for example <p class="x">), just try /<p\>

The sequence \> matches an "end of the word", so it will not match <pre> for example.

If you want to navigate to an ID, you may just press an asterisk * - this will find you the next occurrence of the word under cursor.

As a workaround without ctags I tried this plugin Quick-Filter. It works for me. I imagine a solution with ctags would be nice, too.
