HTML syntax highlighting for Silverstripe .ss template files in vim

By default vim opens .ss files with some other file format syntax highlighting.

To enable HTML (actually XHTML) syntax highlighting on your .SS Silverstripe template files, create (or edit) your ~/.vim/filetype.vim file. Then enter this:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ss      setf xhtml

Then open a .ss file and it’ll give you nice HTML syntax highlighting. And because it’s in your home directory, it’ll keep working even after you upgrade vim.

    Or you could use Eclipse/PHP and just add a .ss filetype mapped to html :)
