In case you were asking for more detail on the process, I'd recommend the following.
It's best to reduce the size of your source code to the smallest possible example that demonstrates the bug. That makes it much easier on the volunteers on the list (and correspondingly more likely that you'll get help with your problem). Since you've indicated it's a problem with comment highlighting, you might be able to post a single C/C++ comment that shows the problem. Then, after shrinking the example as much as possible, email your example to the list (simply paste the example code directly into the email). Please include a good description of what you think is wrong. For example, instead of saying "this doesn't highlight properly", you might say "the third word comes out blue, but it should be yellow". You may have already seen this, but I've found the following document interesting and helpful for posting questions on mailing lists: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Hope this helps, Michael Henry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
