I am new to vim and am encountering an annoying issue: certain things that I type in get highlighted red, for no apparent reason. For example, if I create a file test.txt and insert the following text:
"prog" the prog is given a red background. Even if I use ':syntax off', it is still red. What is causing this to happen? This makes it very hard to edit code since strings are colored red, causing a red-on-red issue where you can't read the text at all. Thanks, Chris
