I am using Vim with Sparkup and I have two questions:
(I am using Ubuntu 12.04, 7.3.)
sparkup
is a filetype plugin. It depends on the filetype of current file.
When you edit a xml file, :set ft=html
to change filetype manually.
Then you can use the sparkup
plugin.
If you want vim do it automatically, put this command into your .vimrc
:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.xml,*.tpl set ft=html
