Lets say, that I've editing text "foo" in Vim (pure version 7.2, without plugins or .vimrc), and recording macro, to transform "foo" into "<h2>foo</h2>". To do that, I press "qa", then I've got message "recording" at bottom Vim's window. After editing, I press once again "q" to stop recording. When I enter in vim ":@a" to play macro, there's error "E488: Trailing characters i<h2></h2>". The reason is, I think, that there's slash in macro, but it means, that there's no way to record macro with simple HTML text (without any plugins, like surround.vim).

Is there any solution for this?

As it says here http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_10.html#10.1 , you don't use

:@a

just

@a

Thanks ... RTFM as always
