description

In insert mode, typing anyword,,, gets translated to an xml element named 'anyword' Example 1:       anyword,,,<cr><tab>xsl:if,,, ==>       <anyword>             <xsl:if>             </xsl:if>       </anyword> with the cursor after the element open tag. If anyword is not on a line by itself, no newline is added. Example 2: This is a bold,,, statement ==> This is a <bold>statement</bold> Use it all the time myself, in docbook and with some custom dtd's. See vimtip #465
