At least Derek took the time and effort to put something online about using xpt. I do think it is a poor demo though. And the screencasts seem pretty bad too. But I'm not sure how much can really be imparted in a silent screencast. In fact it seems like kind of wasted effort. I don't mean Dereks' part... Just the use of a screencast for this seems kind of dumb to me. Far as the documentation goes... It does seem pretty good. I've also run into a problem getting vim to use it or be able to show the documentation. Somewhere in the docs it says to put the xpt folder after unpacking, into ~/.vim and run `:helptags ~/.vim/xpt/doc' and then `:h xpt' When I do that... vim still doesn't know anything about xpt. I see the tags file has been created in ~/.vim/xpt/doc but still vim cannot show anything with `:h xpt' I even looked at the tags file and tried using an item from it. :h xptemplate.txt. Still vim says it doesn't know about it. If I open xptemplate.txt with vim and try to navigate the tags with ^], vim says `tag not found' So, I can read the docs manually of course... but something is wrong there. Almost certainly something I'm doing... but I'm not sure what. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
