I had occasionally problems, when a plugin's helpfile has been created with a bom by vimball, which triggered an error by the helptags command and thus the documentation wasn't available. This was one of the reasons for me to avoid boms. Usually I can tell vim which encoding to use, if necessary. Agreed, this is not always possible and YMMV, obviously. regards, Christian -- :wq --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
