I'm using version 7.2/normal/Gui on slackware 13/32-bit.
I have vim runing, loaded with a session file, and then opened for
editing some html files. Syntax highlighting *will not* work for the
html filetype. Syntax highlight *is* working for other filetypes.
Furthermore, if I open the same html files in another instance of
vim loaded from another session file, the syntax highlighting for
html files does work.
If I were to make a wild guess here, I would guess that there is
some setting in the session file that is preventing the syntax
highlighting for the html filetype?
And advice would be appreciated.
thanks
I suppose there is something fishy with your session file, but without
hands-down testing it's hard to say what.
I suggest that rather than use :mksession, you construct (at least one
time) a "custom session file" by writing into a new script (which can be
named, for instance, ~/Session.vim if you don't need to keep another
default session) all the ex-commands which you would use at the
command-line to reload your current files in a new Vim just after it
starts up. No need to duplicate any settings already in your vimrc, but
don't forget anything: most of the commands will be ":e <filename>"
":new <filename>" etc. but maybe now and then an ":lcd <directory>" etc.
(You can leave out the initial colons.) Start Vim as "vim -S" or "gvim
-S" to source this handmade script (which will probably be much shorter
and much easier to understand than a session file made by :mksession) --
if you wrote it the right way, then your files will be loaded correctly,
with syntax highlighting and all.
Best regards,
Tony.
