Useful Vim plugins for web development and design (php, html, css, javascript)?
Right now I'm using surround.vim to enclose text in HTML tags, and a plugin that highlights text according to the hex value in the CSS file (e.g. #888 will have gray background in the CSS file).
Are there other useful plugins for web development?
Recommendations
Here is a list of the plugins mentioned in the answers so far:
- surround.vim to enclose text in HTML tags
- jslint.vim to check for JavaScript errors with JSLint
- Emmet.vim for HTML and CSS high-speed coding
- phpfolding.vim to for automatic folding of PHP
- Syntastic for automatic syntax checking of e.g. PHP
- Exuberant ctags for tagging of a wide array of languages.
- Tagbar Helps view/navigate source, displays call signature in status area.
Answer
I've written answers for this question and this question explaining how to get JavaScript syntax checking / linting and source-code browsing / tag-list for Vim using the community-driven jshint.com (which is way better than JSLint IMO) and Mozilla's DoctorJS (formerly jsctags).
