This is what I recommend to everyone using Vim who are predominately using it as a writing tool. All of the formatting stays in one document and is run through a converter when you want to pass the information to another human being, be it an editor or whatever. Thanks, Braden. Yeah, I've become familiar with MultiMarkDown, which is really simple, leaves the file very readable, and can be compiled for LaTeX processing. And I think I've come across something for it -- a plugin? -- for Vim. I am also looking for something that would handle simple setup of printing of Vim text documents, e.g., wrapping words, selecting fonts, and setting margins -- the bare minimum. Haven't come across anything for that yet. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- You received this message from the vim_mac maillist. Do not top-post!

Thanks, Tim. Especially for the first two items. I used the second to turn spell on for txt files only, but it's checking my .vimrc. I especially don't want that. Checking the help on spell, one of the comments was that it loads the entire dictionary, apparently a large file, into memory, and that it can slow things down. I don't work with very big files. Max would be 15 to 20 pages of plain text. I assume having spell on all the time is not going to be a problem for me.

And among these lines I do have colorscheme settings and toolbar button disabling settings as well. So yes, it works. We've just got to figure what's different on your system. Additionally: which version of MacVim are you using?

Re: Configuring MacVim
just .vimrc will do the guioptions-=T kind of useless on mac, you can just hit the button on the top right of the macvim window to show/hide the tools.
