'indent' folds based on how far a given line is indented. 'syntax' folds based on syntax rules specific to the filetype being edited.
'indent' is really only useful (IMO) when you're editing something very, very simple that doesn't have a proper Vim 'syntax' set up. Anything else usually has good defaults for folding via 'syntax' (or is configurable to do so).
Ok thanks. I had tried that but didn't have any luck. Kept saying "no fold found" when I swtiched to foldmethod=syntax. I'll have to go back and slowly build up a valid .vimrc that works.
Question: Ultimatley I want code folding in html files (and preferebly later haml/erb) should using foldmethod=sytnax work for any file that it recognizes the syntax?
Ok, using synax foldmethod definitely works nicely for xml (thanks Ben,) but for html files it still says "no fold found." Off to the google cave, but if anyone has tips in the meantime.. thanks.
