Chip gave you a potential solution that will give you option (1). Assuming you're working on a *nix system, I believe you could add '| col -b' to your 'makeprg' or 'shellpipe' options to accomplish option (2). I just recently learned about 'col -b' from a Vim tip about using Vim as a man page viewer. Very useful! Especially if you don't have the conceal patch that Chip mentions. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
