vim and html

[NGene]

I recently switched from elvis to vim, and so far I like it. There's only one thing I miss.

I edit a lot of html pages, and in elvis I could view the file in html mode. If I said :display html elvis viewed the file like a web browser does. I found this feature extremely useful when editing html pages. Can I do something similar in vim?

Not that I know of ...

Couldn't you write a macro to pipe the page to Lynx (or even Mozilla)? I know this can be done with LaTeX code and xdvi or gv, for example.

It just wouldn't be the same. Well, it could be cool anyway, but I have no idea how to do it. Ok, folks, where do I start?

(ack! don't tell me I actually need to rtfm?! )

i'm surprised GnuVince hasn't solved this one yet... if anyone here should know how to do it, it's him

I've been bored with LJR these past few days. Actually I've been bored period. So I don't come here as often as I used too.

And put this in your .vimrc:

" HTML pour NGene
map zh :w<CR>:!w3m %<CR>

When you're in normal mode, you just need to type zh and w3m will launch w3m with the document.
