in C99. It also includes the VIM 7 spell group in comments and strings and
syntax based folding (comments and statement blocks).

to Imre for finding it.
6th November
2003 I hated the normally
invisible characters in the User Manual appearing - the lone ~, <, and >
- so I wrote a filter to remove them and regenerated the manual again. Also,
the PDF versions are now available unzipped, so you can view them immediately
in your browser. The new files are available on the
User Manual page.
5th November
2003 I have put up new PDF
and PS files of the user manual for VIM 6.2. Available on the
User Manual page.
3rd September
2003 No changes for ages,
and then three is almost the same number of days! Yet another bug fix to the
Standard C syntax file, this time to
correct highlighting of #pragma and #warn preprocessor statements.
1st September
2003 Oops, messed up
yesterdays little fix to the Standard
C. It is now fixed and completed for C94 wide character scan
lists.
31st August
2003 Minor fix to the
Standard C syntax file to correctly
highlight sscanf() scan lists that end with a -.
2nd June

for alternate page header printing following the release of VIM 6.2 - see

details. Released updated black and white
printing colorscheme to set
the line number highlight group to use when printing (new in VIM
6.2).
20th May
2003 Fixed a bug in the
Standard C syntax file v10.5 when
highlighting nested array indexing. It also now highlights as an error the
invalid token ~= - not that I doubt anyone tries to use it.
5th May
2003 The
Standard C syntax file has been
updated for a couple of minor things - correct highlighting of digraphs when
allowed, handle line splicing of C++ style line comments, and highlighting of
octal constants with a type suffix.
16th April
2003 Still alive and
kicking. I have now added pages for ftplugin and indent files I maintain for the VIM
distribution.
14th July
2002 The Print Manager
plugin has been updated to support
printing to file. The help file has also been updated.
I have also added a
version of a runtime file that can be used to alter how page headers of
printouts from VIM appear. The file can be found on the
Miscellaneous Files page.

the VIM 6.1 User Manual with Bookmarks that can be downloaded from the the

from the User Manual page.
17th June
2002 Following the transfer
to a new domain, all the files that can be downloaded have new contact
addresses in them. No functional changes have been made, so if you have found
this site already, then there is no real need to download the files again.
Unless you want to that is.
1st May
2002 Yet another update to
the Standard C syntax file. It now
supports development on VAX VMS by allowing $ in function and variable names
when c_vms is defined.
20th April
2002 The
Standard C help file has been vastly
improved and should make using the syntax file a lot clearer. There have been a
number of bug fixes made, as well as a couple of new features - start of C
comments that appear within a comment can now be highlighted as an error (some
compilers don't like it), and the keyword fortran is now highlighed when
c_c_vim_compatible is defined (used by some K&R compilers for calling
FORTRAN libraries).
14th April
2002 The printing plugin has
been revamped and renamed the Print
Manager plugin. It now supports N-up and reverse page order printing, as
well as the original duplex printing for non-automatic duplex printers. It is
now possible to use the Print Manager plugin from the printexpr
option.
6th April
2002 The
Standard C highlighting file has had
a help file added to it providing full documentation on configuring and
extending it. In addition there have been a large number of updates to it - C99
additions to printf/scanf format strings, fix whitespace warnings (mixed
tabs/spaces, trailing whitespace), highlighting speed ups, correct highlighting
of C99 8 digit universal characters, add support for c_no_utf, and a few other
minor fixes.
28th March
2002 Yet more updates to
Standard C highlighting. Allow braces
with parentheses in macro definitions for Linux kernel code. Fix highlighting
of C99 universal characters. Can now highlight multiple character integer
constants as warnings.
20th February
2002 Updates to
Standard C highlighting. Correct
pattern matching months in date highlights in comments. Fixed highlighting of a
couple of C99 features, and added some missing C99 library types and
constants.
20th February
2002 Fixed a bug in
highlighting Type in the print black and white
colorscheme. Remove duplicated lines that got in there somehow -
sorry.
17th February
2002 Added a VIM Plugin
files page with the Poor Man's Duplex Printing (my first) plugin. Updated the
Standard C syntax files - improved the VIM compatible mode, fix some C94 and
C99 error highlighting, and some optional highlighting elements.
4th December
2001 In case you had not
noticed, I have tidied up my VIM pages. Anyway, onto the good stuff! I have
updated all my maintained syntax files to reflect the current VIM distribution.
I have also updated my Standard C syntax file - it now supports
C99 - should you be lucky enough to have a C99 compiler. I
have also made public the page for the PS and PDF printable versions of the VIM
6.0 user doc files.
12th February
2000 A few more updates to
the C syntax file - highlight 0 (zero) integer constant as an octal integer
(since they are!), highlight undefined string formats as errors (e.g.
%a), fix highlighting \\ character constants when there
are more character constants on the same line, and minor syntax file
optimisations. Also, tidied up the description section on C.
30th January
2000 I have updated my
alternate C syntax highlighting file. Along with a few minor bug fixes, I have
also added support for new language elements from the Normative Addendum 1,
1994, which added improved support for wide characters and digraphs. Full
details are on the Syntax page. A new version of ANSI C was approved at the end
of 1999 which I shall start adding to the syntax file as soon as I can get a
copy of it, but I doubt it will be any time soon since there are not any
compliant compilers out there yet.
10th January
2000 There is a new version
of the PostScript syntax file. It now handles empty hexadecimal strings
specified with <>.
4th July
1999 Oops, forgot I
maintained the Rebol syntax file so I have added that. Plus added some links to
make finding details on specific syntax files easier.
27th June
1999 VIM pages
created. |
