Thanks Gary, There is one feature, unrelated to markdown, that all the files in question would have: at least one CamelCase name. I have no idea how to convert that into a rule, though I imagine you guy's could do it in a snap. I think the better route is going to be the one offered by Thilo and Tony -- using the path to the files to define the filetype. I've taken a stab at how that might be done in my response to Tony. Your explanation leads me to think that I will have to create a script and put it where you said to put it. I assume scripts.vim can contain multiple scripts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
