Correct indentation of HTML and PHP using Vim
html, indentation, php, vim
Solution
This still bothers me. I only just decided that the best work-around (for me personally) is this:
:set filetype=html
And then highlight your text and hit `=`. BOOM! HTML formatting succes. (Not ideal, I know, but at least it works.)
Problem
I've been using Vim for a while, and I can't get proper HTML indentation working in PHP files. For example, what I want is for each child to be indented one tab more than it's parent, as shown below. ``` <?php if(isset($sports)) { //Do something ?> <div> <label>Uniform Size</label> <ul> <li class="left"><label for="s" class="small">S</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="S" id="s" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="m" class="small">M</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="M" id="m" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="l" class="small">L</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="L" id="l" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="xl" class="small">XL</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="XL" id="xl" class="radio" /></li> </ul> </div> <?php } ?> ``` Using the PHP-correct-Indent script, the code results in being formatted as follows: ``` <?php if(isset($sports)) { //Do something ?> <div> <label>Uniform Size</label> <ul> <li class="left"><label for="s" class="small">S</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="S" id="s" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="m" class="small">M</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="M" id="m" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="l" class="small">L</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="L" id="l" class="radio" /></li> <li class="left"><label for="xl" class="small">XL</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="XL" id="xl" class="radio" /></li> </ul> </div> <?php } ?> ``` Even with indented HTML which I then add PHP code to, the indentation is ignored, moving new lines of HTML code without any indentation at all. So, is there any way that I can get the indentation format that I want working with HTML within PHP files, using Vim?
