Does anyone know of a vim plugin or script to convert special characters to their corresponding HTML entities? -
I develop websites for corporate clients, so we & reg;, & trade; Etc., sometimes I paste into huge blocks of copy, which may contain beautiful quotes (& ldquo; & rdquo;) or other weird characters from the word processor.
So, my question is: Can anyone convert a Vime plugin or a script, which can swoop into one, all these characters in HTML institutions?
I think that it covers all the bases of institutions, it would be good:
 So, for the above characters, they have  and reg; ,  and business; ,  & amp; Ldquo; , will be replaced with , & Amp; Rdquo; , etc. 
I tried htmlspecialchars vimball (), but no dice, it replaces HTML-discrete characters just like PHP HTMLsepcialchars function, and does not cover any extra special characters.
 I will suggest Tim Pope's plugin. It provides using mapping:  [x  and ] x  respectively.
