This plugin allows for the rapid development of HTML files primarily with the use of macros. For example:

• In normal mode, type ;html to insert a configurable template
• Use <Tab> to skip to unfilled parts of the template
• Use insert mode ;-mappings to insert tags. For example:
  • ;pp inserts:
    <p>
    </p>
  • ;im inserts <img src="" alt=""> and correctly positions the cursor
  • ;br inserts <br>
  • &< inserts &lt;, &> inserts &gt;, && inserts &amp;
  • and so on...
• ;db in normal mode launches the default browser on the current buffer file
• Commands are included to disable and re-enable the mappings, so it is easier to edit JavaScript, PHP, etc.
• The map leaders (; and &) are configurable, along with many other configuration variables
• A menu―including a modified toolbar―is included to allow for reference to tags and their corresponding mappings

Note: If you have an old installation of this plugin, you need to remove its files first or they may prevent the packed version from loading.
