When indenting PHP code in VIM 7.0 on CentOS 5.x, HTML links are shown underlined. This is very handy, but in some places I have indented PHP code in that HTML, and the whole indentation is underlined:

```
            <li class="picture">
________________<a href="<?=$linkUrl?>">
____________________<img src="/<?=$img['source']?>" alt="Picture"/>
____________________<? if ($someCondition): ?><span class="info"><?=$img['info']?></span><? endif; ?>
________________</a>
            </li>

```

Is there any way to tell the syntax highlighter to ignore line-leading whitespace in HTML links?
