Many people enjoy reading and writing in plain text because it is available in every enviroment. Think about thousands of RFC documents being created in plain text format.
If only these documents had tags -- Especially when the document are very long, for example rfc3261 has more than 200 pages.-- If only these document could be browsed easily. Have you remembered the Vim's help document? They are plain text with tags or indexes and some highlight. You could jump to where something is defined. It seems we can indeed browse plain text efficiently in vim. I will introduce another way to implement the jump function different from the Vim's help document that need additional control chars(add symbol "*" in the front and after the word to define the tags, and use symbol "|" in front and after the words to define the index.). People may feel strange when they see such symbols. How to do? The only thing is to install the "Plain Text Browser" plugin. I'd like to give some preview. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2899 Preview The "Plain Text Browser" plugin give Vim the ability to show the document structure and highlight in plain text. After install, Open a plain text document with vim and you will see the syntax highlight: The chapter title, URLs, Keywords(such error, todo, etc)... will be highlighted. After install, please open the document "txt.txt" directly with vim to read how this syntax is defined and to preview what it looks like.(You can also use "help txt.txt" command to open txt.txt in any other file, but must run one more command "set ft=txt" to preview how the file looks like) You could also refer to the following link to have a snapshop. Meanwhile use the ":Tlist" command to open the taglist window. You will find the table of the content is listed in the taglist window along with the table and figure list. You can jump to the corresponding chapter by clicking the tag, just like browsing C code with "taglist" plugin. http://guoyoooping.blog.163.com/album/edit/#p1 http://old.nabble.com/file/p27095084/snapshot.jpg -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-show-plain-text-document%27s-structure-and-syntax-highlight-tp27095084p27095084.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
