I've started using a similar plugin called sparkup.vim, which I like it a lot.

input:text followed by C-e creates <input..etc

Wow, the screencast is impressive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw3jipcenKc

I'm putting this plugin on my to-review-and-perhaps-write-about list.

Awesome plugin. A cursory inspection indicates that they are complimentary tho. For instance, you use sparkup to add reams of html. But if it turns out you need to wrap a few elements in a div, ragtag might be better (e.g. add the <div> then navigate to wherever, and do the close). Unless of course sparkup ha that, and I haven't got there yet in the docs.

If you need to wrap some things in a div, you could also use another tpope plugin: surround.vim. Just visually select the items and just do this: s<div> Also, you can use motions, etc.

Great plugin, although it's ability to jump to the next empty tag was overriding with my tabbing/completion(probably conflicting with SuperTab) - so I remapped that functionality to Ctrl-i rather than Ctrl-n:

    let g:sparkupNextMapping = '<c-i>'

So far that doesn't seem to be conflicting with anything...

Be sure to add the following to your vimrc

:source ~/.vim/ftplugin/html/sparkup.vim

No, because then it will be used for all files. Instead, you need to turn on ftplugins with "filetype plugin on". Then it's only loaded for ft=html files.
