That was what I was thinking. How does one get "C. If your file type can be detected by the file name." to work (from :help new-filetype) then, given that my file type can in fact be detected by the filename. > It's not a bug, it's a feature. > As mentioned under ":help ftdetect" (in the NOTE at line 178 of > filetype.txt for Vim 7.0, last change 2006 Apr 28), your > $VIM/ftdetect/wibble.vim (or, maybe better, wibblewobble.vim) should > only contain the single line Deliberately named wibble.vim; this is just a test and I wanted to make sure it wasn't just taking the filetype from the file suffix. > Then you will probably want to write one or more of the following > scripts (else the filetype detection is rather pointless): Again this was just a test to see how things worked, so I don't really need any of the other files at this point, but thanks!
