Thanks for sticking with me on this, Vlad. I sense that when we get this working I'll find it very useful. The results I got from executing the command you suggested varies from what it should be. They are: filetype=markdown foldmethod=manual foldexpr=0 The only thing in my .vimrc that relates to folding are the two lines I included in my last response, and that are commented out. I checked two other plugins that I have installed, VimOutliner and TaskPaper.Vim. In files that are in ~/.vim/ftplugin both have fold-related commands, but they are executed with setlocal, e.g., setlocal foldmethod=syntax. I'm assuming these will not affect fold setups for other filetypes. I notice from your script that the location of markdown.vim file is slightly different from where I've put it. The former says it should go in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin. I have it in ~/.vim/after/plugin. Could that be the problem? > What do you do to "generate" folds?

I haven't tried to define any folds. I understood that with this method folds are created automatically. These are my settings for the fold-options that you left optional. I'm not sure I understand foldenable or foldlevel. I left it at 0 because, as best I understood what it does, I thought it would make the base state of the folds closed. setl foldenable setl foldlevel=0 setl foldcolumn=2 Thanks again, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
