Vim: How to navigate between begin and end html tag?

Question

For example, if I want to jump to the close form tag. how could I do this?

Answer 1

The matchit.vim plugin, in conjunction with the html.vim filetype plugin, will allow you to do this. One way to load the matchit.vim plugin is to put this in your ~/.vimrc:

runtime macros/matchit.vim

If you don't already have filetype plugins enabled, also put this in in your ~/.vimrc:

filetype plugin on

Then when you edit an HTML file, you can jump from a tag to the matching tag by typing %. You can find out more by executing

:help matchit
