Look, I never suggested that this was going to be easy, but there’s no point in making it harder (by adding some separate control sequence). Ruby already looks for the 'fileencoding' option in a Vim modeline when trying to determine the encoding of a file. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
