Re: Highlighting block of text
Tim,
I finally got to the point in my project where I could tryout
your code. In one sense your code was similar to some of
my attempts at using the match/highlight capability but
I 1) did not order the column/line correctly and, more
importantly, 2) I did not have a trailing '.' in the
match patterns.
If one is willing to create highlight groups on the fly,
then one can programatically highlight arbitrary
blocks of code ... W5!
function! XXX(name, c1, c2, l1, l2)
exec highlight! . a:name . ctermbg=green guibg=green
exec sil! match . a:name. ' /\%' .a:c1. 'c\%' .a:c2. 'c\%'
.a:l1. 'l\%' .a:l2. 'l./'

How do I tell VIMN to :set number whenever I view a help topic?
How can I tell VIM that I want it to display line numbering whenever I view a help topic? Of course set number (without the quotation marks) in my .vimrc file tells Vim I want line numbering on by default in my editing windows. But I also want to tell Vim to display line numbers in help topics I access via :help [topic]. As it stands, I need to type set number after Vim displays the help information to display line numbering. And with a help window open, if I use any of the navigation features to move to another topic, Vim turns off the line numbers.

Of course set number (without the quotation marks) in my .vimrc file tells Vim I want line numbering on by default in my editing windows. So far, so good. But I also want to tell Vim to display line numbers in help topics I access via :help [topic]. As it stands, to display line numbering in Help I need to type set number after Vim displays the help information. And if I've done that, and then use any of the navigation features to move to another Help topic, Vim turns off the line numbers.

Hi, you could use set number in .vim/ftplugin/help.vim regards, Thomas On Tue, May 08, 2012 at 15:58:34 -0700, sfosparky wrote: How can I tell VIM that I want it to display line numbering whenever I view a help topic?

Does set guitablabel require scripting? (Virtually all examples seem to imply that it does…)
I've been trying to figure out how to change how Vim labels tabs. Everywhere I turn for information contains Vim script examples. This has led me to believe that set guitablabel can only be used via scripts(?) At present, Vim labels tabs with a file name prefaced with a path code of the form \P\M\M\F\R\F\R\T, where each character is the first character of a folder name on the path. Ugh! In an effort to get rid of the path info, I tried using (without the quotation marks) :set guitabel=%t This has no effect. So I went out looking for more help. But everywhere I've gone, set guitablabel is used within a script. Is scripting really necessary? Or is my problem that I'm formatting the : set guitablabel command improperly? Or?

Re: Highlighting block of text
Success :exec highlight! Foo33 ctermbg=green guibg=green :call matchadd(Foo33, '\%8c\%21c\%5l\%14l.') :call matchadd(Foo33, '\%2c\%11c\%3l\%6l.') :exec highlight! Foo34 ctermbg=white guibg=white :call matchadd(Foo34, '\%18c\%31c\%5l\%14l.') :call matchadd(Foo34, '\%12c\%21c\%3l\%6l.') :call clearmatches() Tim, note that the leading and trailing '/' (patterns generated by your example code) should not be included. So, folks should modify your Hi function to remove them if they wish to use matchadd(). Thanks all.
