Thanks for sending this. Unfortunately, it does not work correctly on all of my code. I've also found parts of my code where the plugin supplied with vim does not work correctly even with Gary Johnson's patch. If I have a chance, I will send examples tomorrow, but I need to get my work done (as opposed to fighting with an editor) and will have to continue with emacs/viper, since I don't presently have a vim awk indenter that works correctly in all cases and is acceptably fast. But I do very much appreciate the efforts of everyone to help with this and I will continue to try to find some time to document the problems. /Don > > Best regards, > > Zvezdan Petkovic > > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
