Additional tools/scripts/plugins for editing html with vim

I am looking for any pointers with regards to editing html with Vim.

The HTML documents I need to edit will u开发者_开发问答se css (probably inline) but no JavaScript or any other "technique".

So, I thought there must be people more knowledgebale than me in that area that could give me some hints as to where I could find some tools, or scripts or Vim plugins that assist me while I am editing the documents.

FWIW, I am using Vim 7.3.

I'm happy with SnipMate. It comes with a bunch of default snippets for many languages including HTML and JavaScript but they are easy to modify/augment: here is my customized html.snippets.

SparkUp allows you to use compact CSS syntax to write massive amounts of HTML, it's a bit too rigid for my taste, though.

To be able to use Omni Completion for CSS you will need to change the "file type" setting for the buffer like this: :set ft=css.html.

Also Vim itself is very powerful for HTML even without fancy plugins:

• cit will remove text from <p>text</p> and leave you in insertion mode between the opening and closing tags

• dat will delete the whole <p>text</p>

• :norm I and :norm A let you append text at the beginning and end of multiple visually selected lines

and so on…

RagTag (documentation) is a nice plugin for HTML (and more) editing.

Also, matchit to help navigate between an opening tag and its closing tag with '%'

I've heard that this one is quite good, HTML/XHTML mappings for Vim it provides macros for templates, header insertion, tag insertion, and tag completion. It does supports inline CSS and includes commands to launch the a web browser and display the currently edited file.

Hope that's a start!

The surround plugin is quite useful for HTML, it makes it a lot easier to add/delete/edit sets of tags, instead of having to deal with the opening and closing tags individually.

A good article about explaining some of the things you can do with it is here: Vim Plugins You Should Know About, Part I: surround.vim

Zen plugin seems interesting to write HTML with minimal number of keystroke.

There is a nice video demonstrating how it works in the link above.

I've spend so many weeks tweaking Vim to suit my needs to do web development in a productive way.
