I don't know what to make of this. For one thing I can't type it without "trailing characters" errors. Is it all one line? Is it an ex command? I tried inserting the ^M's with ctrl-q-ctrl-m but it immediately terminated the command. > Each fold gets applied to a block that starts with Topic: and ends with the > line just before the next occurrence of Topic: This is similar to your > sections. > > For the last fold, it ends at the file's last line, %$.

However, sounds like you want > fold to happen dynamically as you type and edit? The syn region's that I used do get applied as you type, which is very nice, but perhaps if I understood your command that could help me discover a solution. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
