Html code completion uses the standard Vim code completion mechanism like so:
<ht<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>
<html>
<he<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>
<html>
<head>
<lin<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>
<html>
<head>
<link ty<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>
<html>
<head>
<link type
...
In addition to the standard code completion, eclim also supports auto completion of end tags. When you type ‘</’ eclim will attempt to determine which element you are closing and complete it for you. If you wish to disable this feature you can simply set g:EclimSgmlCompleteEndTag to 0.
Warning
Html completion has been disabled on Windows when using the headless version of eclim because of a native call which blocks indefinitely. Hopefully in the future this issue will be resolved or a work around found.
Vim Variables
