Automatically indent HTML tags in Vim

Edit March 2024: this does not work to well. Need to find an alternative.

Set the following options:

:filetype indent on
:set filetype=html    # abbrev.  :set ft=html
:set smartindent      # abbrev.  :set si

Then move the cursor to the top of the file and indent the whole file by typing:

gg=G

Or select the text to indent and press =.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
