IMO it is too restrictive to make options (such as syntax highlighting, 'textwidth', and indent-related options) apply to a whole file. There should be a convenient, consistent way to tell vim to treat different sections of a file as having different file types. Examples: * code snippets in an e-mail * PHP in an HTML file (or vice-versa) * perl/python/ruby inside a vim script * comments, text, and math inside LaTeX/plain TeX/conTeXt
True. I use perl -e perl scripts embedded into shell scripts, and I am missing perl syntax inside shell scripts. OTOH, it is possible in vim. What is missing here is some doc section in the syntax.vim doc. Doc sestion that'd describe the official recommended method of embedding one syntax (filetype) into another; like php syntax includes the html syntax. Yakov
