Fixes an annoying bug where Vim searches through the runtime path for ages for HTML syntax files
" Fixes runtimepath issues for html files
" Language: HTML
" Author: Rob O'Dwyer
" Last Change: April 2, 2011
" Filenames: *.html, *.htm
" Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
if exists("b:current_syntax")
echo "Warning: html syntax has been overridden!"
finish
endif
" Deactivate extra stuff on runtimepath
let s:oldrtp=&runtimepath
set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME
" Source default html syntax file
runtime syntax/html.vim
" Restore runtimepath
let &runtimepath=s:oldrtp
" Prevent other syntax files from loading
let b:current_syntax='html'
