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
Excellent, it does work when exceeding tw and with 'gq' command. I was
in fact trying to trigger it with Return and didn't realize that
wouldn't work.. Thanks very much, this was a big annoyance to me for a
while..
