This directory contains files to automatically compute the indent for a
|
|
type of file.
|
|
|
|
If you want to add your own indent file for your personal use, read the docs
|
|
at ":help indent-expression". Looking at the existing files should give you
|
|
inspiration.
|
|
|
|
If you make a new indent file which would be useful for others, please send it
|
|
to the vim-dev mailing list <vim-dev@vim.org>. Include instructions for
|
|
detecting the file type for this language, by file name extension or by
|
|
checking a few lines in the file. And please stick to the rules below.
|
|
|
|
If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of
|
|
that file. Only when you get no response send a message to the vim-dev
|
|
mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>.
|
|
|
|
If you are the maintainer of an indent file and make improvements, e-mail the
|
|
new version to the vim-dev mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rules for making an indent file:
|
|
|
|
You should use this check for "b:did_indent":
|
|
|
|
" Only load this indent file when no other was loaded yet.
|
|
if exists("b:did_indent")
|
|
finish
|
|
endif
|
|
let b:did_indent = 1
|
|
|
|
Always use ":setlocal" to set 'indentexpr'. This avoids it being carried over
|
|
to other buffers.
|
|
|
|
To trigger the indenting after typing a word like "endif", add the word to the
|
|
'indentkeys' option with "+=".
|
|
|
|
You normally set 'indentexpr' to evaluate a function and then define that
|
|
function. That function only needs to be defined once for as long as Vim is
|
|
running. Add a test if the function exists and use ":finish", like this:
|
|
if exists("*GetMyIndent")
|
|
finish
|
|
endif
|
|
|
|
The user may have several options set unlike you, try to write the file such
|
|
that it works with any option settings. Also be aware of certain features not
|
|
being compiled in.
|
|
|
|
To test the indent file, see testdir/README.txt.
