How do I insert <% %>
in Vim? I have rails.vim.
It is also possible to insert erb tags in INSERT mode (using rails.vim and surround.vim plugins):
<%= %>
block<% -%>
block<%# %>
block For surroundings in the erb
views you might need Tim Pope's ragtag. It can handle different erb
specific surroundings. Check out the documentation.
I've been using the surround.vim plugin for a long time, but not the rails.vim plugin. Turns out that the rails.vim plugin is adding functionality to surround.vim, or is piggy-backing on it. Either way, I got it working this-a way:
eruby
filetype.:set filetype=eruby
Return to make Vim see things your way.<%= %>
or <%- %>
block.I just confirmed this works in column-selection mode too.
This is documented in the rails.vim help: from the command-mode search for :h rails-surround
. And if you don't have the help available for rails.vim, it's because the instructions weren't followed for installing it:
:helptags ~/.vim/doc
The rails.vim plugin requires the surround.vim plugin also, so that has to be previously installed. I use that plugin's functionality at least once a minute when I'm editing. It rocks.
