The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that there is an obvious bug here: without syntax on, paren highlighting is on but does does not work correctly in the case I've cited (though % does). For some reason, turning syntax on corrects this, but it shouldn't be necessary; highlighting ought to work correctly without it (and I may very well want highlighting without the "Christmas tree" effect you aptly described above). So I don't think this is so much a documentation issue as it is simply a bug in the code. /Don > > -- > Sergey Khorev > http://sites.google.com/site/khorser > Can anybody think of a good tagline I can steal? > > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
