Hi Benji, thanks for your feedback. In my mail I was more talking as the maintainer of the vim package (and of the vim-latexsuite add-on), than as a vim user. Since I've been bugged by users asking for more recognition of LaTeX I was wondering if you agree to change the vim-wide default, instead of changing it on a per-user basis. Since you agree that LaTeX is more common, what is exactly your argument against having it as the default? Beside that, I agree with the other proposal in this thread of recognizing as LaTeX files which starts with a sectioning command (after several possible blanks of course), and I'm going to implement it. Any comments on that choice? Many thanks for your reply, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- Computer Science PhD student @ Uny Bologna, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. -!-
