How are you editing HTML?

Hi all,

After 17 years using WYSIWYG HTML editors, I'm switching to Vim because
Bluegriffon, Kompozer, NVU, and SeaMonkey availability in Linux distros
is catch as catch can, and there's always a question about whether
they're still supported.

So now I'm using Vim plus snipMate. But I need a lot more. For one
thing, as I type my HTML, it goes into the file as a jumble, with
inconsistent indentation and no blank line before <h1>, <h2> etc
headers. Tables aren't sectioned off with whitespace. Is there a way to
get Vim's indentation better and more consistent? If not, is there a
program to reformat HTML for easier editing? If I can't find one, I'll
just write it in AWK or Lua, but I'd rather ask first.

I'm trying to use surround.vim, but haven't been successful yet.

What other Vim addons are you guys using to edit HTML? What other
advice (other than switch to a CMS -- that's not in the cards) do you
have for me?

Thanks,

SteveT
