As a linux addict I hate to say that vim work similarly under MS-DOS;-)

You were very quiet after the emacs demo, were you? :-)

In what mode do you run vim? GUI support on, mouse support on, compatible
mode off, multiple-undo, ... Wow, look, vi does emacs :-))

Groetjes,

Syntax hilight editors

[Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen]

Hi there,

This is not for Hans, who has his own TeXwork stuff.

This is off-topic, but I ran into vim (Vi improved) while searching for a
decent editor for my DVIview project.
My criteria is (always) *good* syntax hi-lighting. Well, this beast does it
all, and it is available for nearly every os, and it's free. What striked me
the most was the specification (look at the .vim files in the syntax
directory), you can do a lot of stuff here. When editing html for instance,
it even bolds the text inside <b></b> tags (also italics in <i><em>, etc.).

It does a good job for TeX, and it even has decent LaTeX support. Since I
use context, I'll create the context higlighting. Well, it seems I'm going
to like linux despite the many things that are *not* obvious about unix.

Gilbert.
