How do you move around in vi when writing HTML? by Route 2002-12-29 14:55:15
I've been using vi for a couple months now, no problems, but now I have been trying to use it to write HTML. I can't get it to move up just *one* line or down *one* line; it jumps to the previous *paragraph*. I have to go to the beginning of the paragraph I want and then move character-by-character to the place I want to edit. Annoying! Especially if it's a ten-line paragraph.
