The plugin is designed to automatically rename closing HTML/XML tags when editing opening ones (or the other way around). For the most part, you should be able to edit your code normally (see documentation for limitations) and the plugin would take care of the renaming once you leave insert mode. You can see a demo gif here: http://i.andrewradev.com/f52337c3b41b6f2269407c1b332caf9c.gif

Apart from HTML tags, it'll also detect XML-style `<namespaced:tags>`, react-style `<Component.Subcomponents>`, ember-style `<component/paths>`.

The plugin only activates for HTML-like buffers, or at least all the ones that I could think of. You can see the full list in the setting `g:tagalong_filetypes`. You can set that variable yourself to limit it to the ones you use. You can activate the plugin for more filetypes by changing `g:tagalong_additional_filetypes` (but consider opening an issue to suggest changes to the default list). See the documentation for more details.
 
install details
The easiest way to install the plugin is with a plugin manager:

- vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
- Vundle:   https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim

If you use one, just follow the instructions in its documentation.

You can install the plugin yourself using Vim's "packages" functionality by cloning the project (or adding it as a submodule) under `~/.vim/pack/<any-name>/start/`. For example:

    git clone https://github.com/AndrewRadev/tagalong.vim ~/.vim/pack/_/start/tagalong

This should automatically load the plugin for you on Vim start. Alternatively,
you can add it to `~/.vim/pack/<any-name>/opt/` instead and load it in your
.vimrc manually with:

    :packadd tagalong

If you'd rather not use git, you can download the files from the "releases" tab and unzip them in the relevant directory: https://github.com/AndrewRadev/tagalong.vim/releases.
