As Brett tried to explain, no one can help you if they don't know
the "it" you are trying to make work. If something you are doing is
not working as you expect it to, then show here _exactly_ what you
are doing. That is, show _exactly_ the commands you are executing
or the sequence of keys you are typing. Include the text you are
attempting to edit. Then show or explain _exactly_ the results you
are getting and explain the results you expected to get.
This may help.

Even if you are looking for broader knowledge than just the answer
to a particular problem, a particular problem can be the starting
place. It will give people here a better idea of what you do and
do not know and will help them suggest specific areas of the Vim
documentation that you might benefit from reading.
