I want to be able to use Vim to properly format HTML source code. Often when
working with WYSIWYG HTML editors, automatically formatted HTML code will have
unnecessary space, empty HTML tags, and way too many newlines. I want to use
Vim to be able to quickly format this sloppy HTML code into something that's
much easier to see. The rules for this code are as follows:
For the purposes of this discussion, let "normal text" mean text that is not
enclosed in HTML tags and is not a whitespace character, an dlet "indentation
mark" mean two spaces.
* Any whitespace immediately following any HTML tag should be removed.
* Any whitespace characters or newlines between an HTML tag and normal text
should be removed.
Wrong:
<td class="ralign">
Monday, May 30</td>
Correct:
<td class="ralign">Monday, May 30</td>
* All opening <table>, <th>, <tbody>, and <thead> tags should be followed by a
newline and one more indentation_mark than what the previous line was.
Wrong:
<tbody><tr><td style
Correct:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style
* All closing <table>, <th>, <tbody>, and <thead> tags should be immediately
followed by a newline and one less number of indentations than the number of
indentations on the previous line.
Wrong:
</td></tr> </tbody> </table>
Correct:
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
* Remove all newlines between opening and closing <a> and <span> tags.
Wrong:
<a href="http://www.google.com";>
Do you Google?</a>
Correct:
<a href="http://www.google.com";>Do you Google?</a>
Is any of this possible in Vim? If not, can someone recommend another utility
to accomplish this?
