Hello,
as a Vim user, I was not satisfied with its support for MetaPost
(especially indenting). I have updated the {mf,mp}.vim scripts
in Vim, which you find attached, and which I have forwarded to
the respective maintainers. Hopefully, they will be included in
a future release of Vim. For the time being, just unpack and put
in your .vim folder.
I have tested these scripts and they work fine for me. But if
you use Vim, I would be glad if you could try them and report
your feedback.
New things:
- *all* METAFONT/MetaPost, mplain.{mp,mf} keywords are highlighted
in the respective file types! Up to date with mpost 1.991.
- Indentation should work *much* better; and you may use 'markers'
to force indentation patterns (see indent/mp.vim) because, you
know, a machine will never get MetaPost indentation right ;)
- Keyword omnicompletion (courtesy of Vim's syntaxcomplete)!
Trigger with <c-x><c-o>.
- You may jump between figures, macros and blocks using standard
mappings: [[, ]], ][, [], [{, ]}.
- Support for the matchit plugin (e.g., with the cursor on 'if',
type % to jump to the corresponding 'fi').
ConTeXt users will benefit from these scripts, too, inside MetaPost
environments. Unfortunately, only the syntax file is available in a
ConTeXt document. For omnicompletion, you may put these in
./vim/after/ftplugin/context.vim:
setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
let g:omni_syntax_group_include_context='mf\w\+,mp\w\+'
Not ideal, but it works. For indentation, I'm still investigating
possible workarounds.
Happy typesetting!
Nicola

Put these lines in ./vim/after/ftplugin/context.vim:
setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
let g:omni_syntax_group_include_context_mp='mf\w\+,mp\w\+'
(note the ..._context_mp) and set the filetype of your document as
follows:
:set ft=context.mp
The only drawback is that indentation rules are applied throughout the
whole document, not only to the MetaPost parts. Depending on how many
'if' and 'forever' there are in your novel, it might get annoying.
