How about starting your new html document with a nice shiny skeleton! Add this in your autocmd section in your .vimrc file " Start with an html skeleton docuement when opening a new *.html file au BufNewFile *.html | execute "normal :set ai!\<kEnter>i<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transiti onal//EN\">\<kEnter><html>\<kEnter> <head>\<kEnter> <style>\<kEnter> </style>\<kEnter> <script>\<kEnte r> </script>\<kEnter> </head>\<kEnter> <body>\<kEnter> </body>\<kEnter></html>\<ESC>:set ai\<kEnter>gg"

The tip added endlines where they are not supposed to be...please remove all endlines so that the command list just a single line.

I added some spaces to make the indentation a little prettier: au BufNewFile *.html | execute "normal :\<kEnter>i\<html>\<kEnter> <head>\<kEnter> <title></title>\<kEnter> <script language=\"javascript\">\<kEnter> </script>\<kEnter> </head>\<kEnter> <body>\<kEnter> </body>\<kEnter></html>\<ESC>gg"
