If you want to remove all HTML style comments (ones that span a single line), use the following VIM commands :
Check for all single line HTML comments in VIM :-
:g/<!– .\{-}–>/p
Typing the above displays all lines that contain HTML style comments
To remove all the comments use the following VIM command :-
:%s/<!– .\{-}–>//g
Add the following lines to a myxsl.vim file and place it in your VIM plugins directory.
The next time you start VIM, you will have a menu called “lf” appear with the following items
listed that allow you to create more xsl code with less typing.
Note that you must also add the VIM utility functions listed in a previous blog article, found here:
