Hi Christian, I realised just now I asked a silly question regarding a HEAD version of the runtime when it was staring right at me. I rebuilt the HEAD version of VIM and symlinked /usr/share/vim/vim80 to the "runtime" directory in the source tree and the new version of "matchparen.vim" appears to now be working properly. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Andre. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
