Hi, I'm trying to use 'formatlistpat' to format unordered lists with
'-' as a bullet:
:set flp=^\s*-\s*
You need to escape the backslashes...
:set flp=^\\s*-\\s*
:help option-backslash
Also, be sure the 'n' flag is present in 'formatoptions'.

Thanks for the reply. That was indeed a problem with my pattern, but I
tried it now escaping
exactly as you say, and it doesn't work still. I do have 'n' in 'fo'. It
basically indents as if '-' wasn't there. I tried both escaping and
double-escaping the '-' (and not escaping, too, of course).
Ak,
Also, 'autoindent' must be set, and 'textwidth' must be set to a nonzero
value. Note that the bulleting/numbering is triggered by automatic
indenting due to textwidth being exceeded, not by hitting Return in
insert mode (which in a list, typically means you're ready to enter the
next number or bullet). Can you describe how you're attempting to
trigger the indent, exactly?
Thanks,
Brett Stahlman
