Bigtop::Docs::Vim - How to get vim syntax things for Bigtop files

How To

There are syntax files for vim in the Bigtop distribution's vim subdirectory. To use them do the following:

1. Create a .vim directory under your home directory, if you don't already have one.

2. Copy filetype.vim to the new directory, or merge it with the one you already have.

3. Create a subdirectory of .vim called syntax, if you don't already have one.

4. Copy bigtop.vim to the syntax subdirectory.

5. Start vim on a bigtop file and see the pretty colors.

You could also just cp -R * from the Bigtop vim directory into your .vim directory and skip to step 5, but that would overwrite your filetype.vim, if you have one.

Folding

If you want folding, add:

let bigtop_fold=1

to your .vimrc. This will fold all brace delimited blocks.
