The vim-docbk plug-in adds support for the DocBook XML language to Vim. It provides a syntax file, a filetype plug-in, and omni completion for DocBook 4.5 and 5.0.

For a complete set of snippets for this language, see my vim-snippets repository.

To install this plug-in by using the Vundle plug-in manager, add the following line to your ~/.vimrc:

Bundle 'jhradilek/vim-docbk'

Then run the following command in Vim:

:BundleInstall

Pathogen looks for Vim files in the ~/.vim/bundle/ directory. To make sure that this directory exists, type the following at a shell prompt:

install -d ~/.vim/bundle/

To install this plug-in, change to the ~/.vim/bundle/ directory and clone this repository there.

Vim looks for its configuration files in the ~/.vim/ directory. To make sure that this directory exists, type the following at a shell prompt:

mkdir ~/.vim/

To install this plug-in, change to the directory with your local copy of this repository and run the following command:

cp -R * ~/.vim/

This copies all files and directories to the ~/.vim/ directory.

To enable syntax highlighting in the current session, run the following Vim command:

:syntax on

To enable syntax highlighting permanently, add the following line to your ~/.vimrc file:

syntax on

You can also explicitly enable file type detection by adding the following line to this file:

filetype on

For more information on how to enable and configure syntax highlighting in Vim, refer to the Vim Documentation.
