Hi all,

I use gvim on windows and i'm trying to write something like this:

-------8<-------------------
<html>
<head>
------------>8--------------

but everytime i press [ENTER] after '<html>' vim goes to the next line
and indents 2 tabs. I don't want vim to do that  I've tried setting
noautoindent
nosmartindent
nocindent
nopreserveindent
nocopyindent

but it keeps indenting  can somebody help me with this?

thnx,

The brute-force method of avoiding automatic indenting is to go into
your Vim directory and find the Indent directory. File the file that
corresponds to the file you're working on (in this case, html.vim) and
delete or rename it. This way, Vim doesn't know how to indent your html
files.

The downside is, of course, that you can't change your mind without
undoing what you just did.

I'm afraid you missed the 'indentexpr' option in the list above.
It is frequently used by indent scripts.
