Slash syntax highlighting for VIM

Slash syntax plugin for Vim. Yup, that's it.

Installation

The installation is the same as for other syntax files.

The first step is to put the syntax.vim-file into your syntax directory. Normally you want to install it for your current user. In that case you can copy the slash.vim-file to the ~/.vim/syntax directory (on Windows this is probably %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles).

If you want to make a global installation, you have to find your global syntax directory. The easiest way to do this is to run the :echo $VIMRUNTIME command. Directly below the VIMRTUNTIME-directory you should find your global syntax directory.

After you have copied the slash.vim file the correct syntax directory, you can register the slash-syntax for the *.sl files:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.sl set filetype=slash

Put this into your ~/.vimrc and the installation is finished (you have to restart VIM though).

If you use pathogen.vim or Vundle the installation is slightly easier.

Using pathogen.vim

Clone the slash.vim repository to your bundle-Directory:

git clone https://github.com/vstm/slash.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/slash.vim

Add the "filetype"-line to your ~/.vimrc to complete the installation.

Using Vundle

Just add the following line to your .vimrc:

Bundle 'vstm/slash.vim'

Then run :BundleInstall to let Vundle fetch the plugin.

Add the "filetype"-line to your ~/.vimrc to complete the installation.

TODO

This is my first VIM-Syntax file, so it probably sucks. Big time. The following things are next on my list:

• Actually test the Vundle-Installation
• Should the plugin register the filetype by itself? "Research" how other syntax-plugins do it.
• Add folding support
• Add indentation support

Suggestions and Contributions are welcome!
