How to close xml tags easily in VIM

From ViM 7.3 onwards, most of the common programming languages are supported (/usr/share/vim/vim73/autoload/...). To make them work automatically, update your vimrc with:


autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete
autocmd FileType javascript set omnifunc=javascriptcomplete#CompleteJS
autocmd FileType html set omnifunc=htmlcomplete#CompleteTags
autocmd FileType css set omnifunc=csscomplete#CompleteCSS
autocmd FileType xml set omnifunc=xmlcomplete#CompleteTags
autocmd FileType php set omnifunc=phpcomplete#CompletePHP
autocmd FileType c set omnifunc=ccomplete#Complete





Use CTRL+ X O to close tags after typing the start of the closing tags.


For example:

This is a sample paragraph </ CTRL +X O will automatically complete the closing tag.

Simple as that
