La Vita è Bella

Updated Again: with this patch, if you let use_xhtml=1, then you must let html_use_css=1, or otherwise the file generated is not a valid xml file. It won't generate a invalid file now.

Finally, vim 7 is released.

I've pointed out 3 bugs in vim's 2html feature, and they were "fixed" in 7.0 -- but not so perfectly.

So I've made a patch for "2html.vim" to resolve my problem.

Please note that, this patch only solved my problem. I haven't tested it on other environments(I mean, different value of "html_use_css", etc.), so use it at your own risk. ;)

download the patch here or see it below:

Note: It only works perfect with the following settings:

let html_use_css = 1
let html_no_pre = 1
let use_xhtml = 1
