[lug] vi/vim HOWTO, part 2

[Ken Scott]

In vim, you can use it's built-in help files for more information.

:h ai  :: This will get you more information about autoindent. The quoted
words in there ('smartindent' 'cindent') can be double-clicked to find
more info 

:h syntax OR :h highlight will get you to information about syntax
highlighting. The quick tutorial: 

type :syn on in vim, and syntax highlighting will work.

Don't forget that you need to either have a .vimrc file, or type :set nocp
to turn off strict vi-compatibility.

HTH,
Ken
