When I reach the specified textwidth the text entered wraps to column 1. .. I also tried with asterisk '*' and the result is different and rather unexpected: When I reached the end of the first line, Vim automatically inserts an asterisk and a space in columns 1-2 before carrying over the word I started on the previous line. The strange thing about this is that if I do a: :set com=fb:* .. instead of :set com+=fb:* this problem goes away (line 2 wraps to column 3 as expected). Are there conflicting values in my default .. :set com? > - or even a lowercase o, but in that case you should make sure that it > isn't recognised as a bullet unless followed by a space or tab. Will keep this one in mind in case I can't get either or the above to work. I'm running Vim 6.4 .. in case it matters. Thanks cga
