Hi, I sent the question "write a very basic syntax file" yesterday to this forum. Thanks to the help provided I managed to write it. But I have a couple of related questions.
==================================== (1) I was suggested to search for the inline help :help new-filetype However, if I do that, I get this "filetype.txt.gz" [readonly][noeol][converted] 26L, 12168C E434: Can't find tag pattern Press ENTER or type command to continue And therefore after hitting ENTER I only get garbage. Why did that happen? ==================================== (2) Following the recommendations, I created a new filetype file as $HOME/.vim/filetype.vim and the syntax file as $HOME/.vim/syntax/myfile.vim But what if I want it to be part of the system? In particular, if I want to distribute it as an RPM? If I am not mistaken, for RHEL 6, the syntax files go under /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/ and the filetype one is /usr/share/vim/vim72/filetype.vim Is that correct? Is it always that PATH for RHEL hosts? Is not possible to have separate filetype.vim files, `a la` /.../filetype.d/ or similar? I am asking this because creating new files with RPM is easy, adding content to existing ones can be a truly nightmare :) ==================================== Once again, thanks a lot in advance.
