A quick and easy plugin to escape html entities in Vim. It's smart enough to not replace previously escaped entities.
It's recommended you use Pathogen, Vundle or NeoBundle. Otherwise copy the
respective files into their respective .vim sub folders.
There are 2 APIs. Both can be called by themselves (to replace the entire file), with a range, or a visual selection.
This command is safe for use in html files. It will not escape <, >, '
and " characters.
This command will replace ALL entities.
If there are specific entities you'd like to ignore simply add them as arguments to your function calls. Each argument should be separated by a space. These arguments can be passed into both commands above.
For example, this command would replace all entities except > and ":
:EntitiesAll > "
You can also provide custom replacements list if you'd like. Since these are called first, it enables the default replacements to be overridden.
Simply provide a global list of replacements like so:
let g:CustomEntities = [
\ ["£", "\£"],
\ ["¤", "\¤"]
\ ]
Note: Ensure you escape the & with a \ as seen above.
