Indent XML/HTML in Vim

[peter_b]

I've been using vim to beautifully indent XML or HTML files on a daily basis.
Nevertheless, I've stumbled over a new combination of vim-foo by Rajashekar Chintalapati today:

1. First join all the lines - ggVGgJ
2. Now break tags to new lines - :%s/>\s*</>\r</g
3. Now set filetype - :set ft=html (you can do this before too)
4. Now Indent - ggVG=

Beautiful...


The magic spell formula again, in ONE row (just to try being cool):

Code: Select all

ggVGgJ :%s/>\s*</>\r</g :set ft=html ggVG=
