How to select a whole HTML block, including the tags in VIM?
vat
, as in Heptite's answer is the way to go.
Note that, depending on where the cursor is, you may need to type at
a few more times until the whole <div>
is selected.
Supposing the cursor is in a <td>
you'd need vatatatat
to select the whole <div>
:
<div> ^ at
<table> | at
<tr> | at
<td> | vat
Another option would be to search backward for di
(v
) or he
(lp
) and select the whole tag with vat
:
?di<CR>vat
Place your cursor within the opening or the closing tag and type "vat
".
