Wow, that jerk really needs to get on the ball :) I can't add you as a project participant unless you have a google account. If you have a google id, send it to me and I'll add you as a participant. If not, then you can sign up for one if you'd like. Otherwise, I'm sure that the other participants (so far: just me) in the project would be happy to add stuff to the wiki if it's emailed to them. > Here's the output of the script for tip 1504 : > > ------------------------------------------- > > Tip 1504 > Authored by Tim Keating > Created on February 6, 2007 9:16 > Complexity is basic > Version of Vim required is '' > > <code>If you want to execute an external command on Windows, you need > to know one trick.

I pasted this as-is into the wiki and here are the results: * http://code.google.com/p/vimtips/wiki/1504_External_commands_on_Windows We need to replace the <code> tags with triple braces as a start. Also, we may want to add bullet points to the metadata fields. Here's a reference to the wiki markup: * http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WikiSyntax Please note that they don't use HTML markup. Instead, they use a markup language that seems to be a simplified mixture of MoinMoin and Mediawiki markup. Thanks again Swaroop! This has been extremely helpful. Tom Purl
