Vim: gg=G aligns left, does not auto-indent

When I try to fix the indentation of an HTML file with gg=G, each line loses its indentation and becomes left-justified. Does anybody know what could be going on here?

test.html

<html>
   <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>Indent test</title>
   </head>
   <body>
    <div id="test">
<div id="test2">
</div>          
    </div>
   </body>
</html>

test.html after running gg=G:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Indent test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">
<div id="test2">
</div>          
</div>
</body>
</html>

You need to enable loading of indentation files for specific filetypes. Change this line in your .vimrc...

filetype plugin on

..to this:

filetype plugin indent on

...then restart Vim and try again.

See :help filetype-indent-on for more details.

Bill Odom


maybe he does not recognize it is html. Can you see syntax highlight?. Could you show your file + filename?

€: Please change the following: filetype plugin on -> filetype plugin indent on

Hope this solves it. regards
