Hi all,
I gather that the vim7 xml omnicomplete needs a data file to work -
which is fair enough, since you can get all the attributes as well this
way.
But, how can I get a generic xml omnifunction system where vim will just
close the last open tag for me.
eg, at present, for html, I have vim set up to close the current tag as
soon as I type '</'

Such "generic" xml/html ftplugins are distributed with Vim. You must
"activate" them by having one (not all) of the following lines in your
vimrc:
filetype plugin on
filetype plugin indent on
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
runtime vimrc_example.vim
(I recommend the last one, near the top of your vimrc, but YMMV.) Then
you trigger omni-completion by hitting Ctrl-X Ctrl-O in Insert mode. In
either HTML or XML, if the cursor is immediately after </ Vim should
then close the current tag. Omni-completion also functions at other
places, for instance (IIRC) in HTML after < hitting Ctrl-X Ctrl-O should
give you a menu of possible tag names, after <DIV a menu of possible
attributes, etc.
You can also assing a single-key shortcut for it, e.g.
:imap <F12> <C-X><C-O>
to use F12 instead of Ctrl-X plus Ctrl-O
Best regards,
Tony.
