VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar
at the end of the line before the block and a less than (<) character as the
first non-blank on a line following the block. Any line starting in column 1
also implicitly stops the block of ex-commands before it. E.g. >
+
function Example_Func()
echo "Example"
endfunction
<
To enable syntax highlighting for a block of code, place a language name
annotation (e.g. "vim") after a greater than (>) character. E.g. >vim
+
function Example_Func()
echo "Example"
endfunction
*g:help_example_languages*
By default, help files only support Vim script highlighting. If you need
syntax highlighting for other languages, add to your |vimrc|: >
- :let g:help_example_languages = { "vim": "vim", "sh": "bash" }
+ :let g:help_example_languages = {
+ \ "vim": "vim", "vim9": "vim", "bash": "sh" }
The key represents the annotation marker name, and the value is the 'syntax'
name.
