I found that I got an error with
<!-- vim: ts=2 sw=2: -->
Error detected while processing modelines:
line 789 (the last line of my file, but I tried it also on lines 1 and 2
(after the <html> tag) with the same result)
E518: Unknown option: -->
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
Instead, I had to put this:
<!--
vim: ts=2 sw=2:
-->
I wonder why.
Having said this, because it works at least this way, I just want to say
that the modeline thing saves my bacon and I love it. I work in a rather
varied-opinion environment and have to accommodate many styles through
the different types of files I edit--makefiles, C files, HTML files,
Doxygen, bash, Perl, blah, blah, blah. Without modeline, I'd have to
change my .vimrc settings for nearly every file.

Wouldn't you put a colon before the --> instead of the quotation
