Vim Macros for Editing DocBook Documents (Linux Journal)

[Posted August 26, 2004 by ris]

Linux Journal shows how to use Vim macros with DocBook/XML and other similar markup languages. "Recently, while helping Linux Journal convert its editorial process to use DocBook/XML for articles, I had occasion to convert some old Vim macros for use with the new process. The original macros were key maps or abbreviations for inserting Quark tags and special characters. The new editorial process involves marking or tagging a document in DocBook/XML. From there, a stylesheet is applied to convert the document either to Quark for publication in the print magazine or to HTML for publication on the Web site."

Did anyone get these macros to load? Bad things seemed to happen after loading the maps.vim file from the article...
