Any tips or good plugins for writing HTML with vim?

Two things that I'd find really helpful:

A command to jump from a tag to the corresponding close tag (like jump from <div> to </div>)

A command to replace the contents of the open and close tag at the same time (like if I replace <h1> with <h2> it will simultaneously replace </h1> with </h2>)

Thanks Lumpy!

I feel like pretty much every thread I ask a question in you are usually the one who provides a useful answer!

Write HTML super fast!

Update: I can't live without this now.

I still haven't quite found a solution for this one though:

This doesn't work unfortunately:

Place cursor over div, and press %.

(it jumps from between the opening and closing brackets of <div>, but not from <div> to </div>)

The closest thing I've found is this plugin which highlights the closing tag (pretty useful in itself):
https://github.com/gregsexton/MatchTag
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3818

If I knew how I'd edit the plugin code to add a way to jump between matched tags.

Oops, I use sensible.vim, which automatically runs runtime! macros/matchit.vim. That macro has been included in vim since 6.0, and it's what adds the jump between tag behavior.

Oh hey it works! Thanks.

I used to have a shortcut that would open a fullscreen list of all open buffers that you could scroll through and switch to with <enter>.

It wasn't :ls, and I'm sure it wasn't a plugin. Any ideas?

gg=G works great on html files, except for inline javascript. It just pushes anything inside the <script> tag all the way to the left:

code:

<html>
   <body>
      <div>
         <script type="text/javascript">
var hello;
console.log("I am not indented");
         </script>
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

Any way to fix this?
