":set syntax?" replies "syntax=". I don't think it's syntax highlighting. I've used that with C and Prolog code before; I gave it up because it was too slow. I'm editing text output from one of my programs; truncating the output of a day-long run to match a run in progress for testing purposes, hunting down rare bugs.

Well, I don't mean to.  ":set" says this:

It can be toggled via

        :syntax on

and

        :syntax off

To see what flavor of syntax highlighting you currently have, you can query the 'syntax' setting:

        :set syntax?
