1 This directory contains files to automatically compute the indent for a
|
|
|
2 type of file.
|

|

|
|
|
4 If you want to add your own indent file for your personal use, read the docs
|
|
|
5 at ":help indent-expression". Looking at the existing files should give you
|
|
|
6 inspiration.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 If you make a new indent file which would be useful for others, please send it
|
|
|
9 to Bram@vim.org. Include instructions for detecting the file type for this
|
|
|
10 language, by file name extension or by checking a few lines in the file.
|
|
|
11 And please stick to the rules below.
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of
|
|
|
14 that file. Only when you get no response send a message to Bram@vim.org.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 If you are the maintainer of an indent file and make improvements, e-mail the
|
|
|
17 new version to Bram@vim.org.

20 Rules for making an indent file:
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 You should use this check for "b:did_indent":
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 " Only load this indent file when no other was loaded yet.
|
|
|
25 if exists("b:did_indent")
|
|
|
26 finish
|
|
|
27 endif
|
|
|
28 let b:did_indent = 1
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 Always use ":setlocal" to set 'indentexpr'. This avoids it being carried over
|
|
|
31 to other buffers.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 To trigger the indenting after typing a word like "endif", add the word to the
|
|
|
34 'cinkeys' option with "+=".
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 You normally set 'indentexpr' to evaluate a function and then define that
|
|
|
37 function. That function only needs to be defined once for as long as Vim is
|
|
|
38 running. Add a test if the function exists and use ":finish", like this:
|
|
|
39 if exists("*GetMyIndent")
|
|
|
40 finish
|
|
|
41 endif
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 The user may have several options set unlike you, try to write the file such
|
|
|
44 that it works with any option settings. Also be aware of certain features not
|
|
|
45 being compiled in.
