In light of the discussion in the "Folding on markdown" thread in
the vim_use list and the confusion over the conditions under which
the BufRead event is used, I think those conditions should be
explained more fully under ":help BufRead".
Here is my proposed change to the help text.
*BufRead* *BufReadPost*
BufRead or BufReadPost When starting to edit a new buffer, after
reading the file into the buffer, before
executing the modelines. See |BufWinEnter|
for when you need to do something after
processing the modelines.
This does NOT work for ":r file". Not used
when the file doesn't exist. Also used after
successfully recovering a file.
+ Also used when executing ":filetype detect" or
+ writing an unnamed buffer, but only for
+ autocommands in the filetypedetect group.
A patch with this change is attached.
Regards,
Gary
