Xml Code Completion

Xml code completion uses the standard Vim code completion mechanism like so:

<ser<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>

<servlet>
  <ser<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U>

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>
...

Note

Requires a valid dtd or xsd to determine possible completions.

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.

Configuration

Vim Variables

  • g:EclimSgmlCompleteEndTag - If set to 0, disables auto completion of end tags.
  • b:EclimSgmlCompleteEndTagIgnore - Buffer local variable that can be set to a list of tags to ignore when searching for the start tag to complete.

    Example that can be added to an html ftplugin file:

    let b:EclimSgmlCompleteEndTagIgnore = ['br', 'input']
