| This directory contains Vim scripts for syntax highlighting. |
| |
| These scripts are not for a language, but are used by Vim itself: |
| |
| syntax.vim Used for the ":syntax on" command. Uses synload.vim. |
| |
| manual.vim Used for the ":syntax manual" command. Uses synload.vim. |
| |
| synload.vim Contains autocommands to load a language file when a certain |
| file name (extension) is used. And sets up the Syntax menu |
| for the GUI. |
| |
| nosyntax.vim Used for the ":syntax off" command. Undo the loading of |
| synload.vim. |
| |
| |
| A few special files: |
| |
| 2html.vim Converts any highlighted file to HTML (GUI only). |
| colortest.vim Check for color names and actual color on screen. |
| hitest.vim View the current highlight settings. |
| whitespace.vim View Tabs and Spaces. |
| |
| |
| If you want to write a syntax file, read the docs at ":help usr_44.txt". |
| |
| If you make a new syntax file which would be useful for others, please send it |
| to Bram@vim.org. Include instructions for detecting the file type for this |
| language, by file name extension or by checking a few lines in the file. |
| And please write the file in a portable way, see ":help 44.12". |
| |
| If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of |
| that file. Only when you get no response send a message to Bram@vim.org. |
| |
| If you are the maintainer of a syntax file and make improvements, send the new |
| version to Bram@vim.org. |
