Re: Vim for PerlMonks nodes

[zakb]

Update: gmax says it works with colons, and it works for me; in fact, it works either way (with colons / without).

Update2:The reason it fails for some is because recent versions of syntax/perl.vim check to see if b:current_syntax is defined, and if so exit.

You need to put unlet b:current_syntax before the syntax include line.

I think the reason it's not working for some people is hat the syntax lines in step 3 should not be prefixed by colons ':'.

Change:

" add Perl extensions
:syntax include @Perl syntax/perl.vim
:syntax region htmlPerl start="< code >" end="< /code >" contains=@Per
+l keepend
" remove spaces around code tags !

let b:current_syntax = "html"

syntax region PMlink start="\[" end ="\]"

To:

" add Perl extensions
syntax include @Perl syntax/perl.vim
syntax region htmlPerl start="< code >" end="< /code >" contains=@Perl
+ keepend
" remove spaces around code tags !

let b:current_syntax = "html"

syntax region PMlink start="\[" end ="\]"

Not forgetting, of course, to remove the spaces.
