All Vim helpfiles (which otherwise are plain .txt files) have a modeline at the very bottom. These modelines are not always identical but AFAICT they always include ft=help. If modelines are disabled by default, or (IMHO worse) disabled even if 'modeline' is on as has been proposed in this thread "until the whitelist can be built", then IIUC the "help" filetype won't be detected anymore.
I believe the present (blacklist) approach is sufficient. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
