Selection – How can I select an HTML tag’s content in Vim?

Is it possible to select an HTML tag’s content in Vim?

For example:

<p>I am a silly butterfly</p>

I would like to select “I am a silly butterfly”.

I know that you can use vi" to select text inside quotes, brackets, etc. The problem here is that the text inside the HTML tags is not really within anything that I can use the i function for.

Solution:

You can use vit to visually select text in a tag. See
