How to use

1. use Vundle or any other plugin manager you like to install

   Plugin 'ZSaberLv0/ZFVimTxtHighlight'
   

2. by default, all text files or any other file that have no syntax specified, would be set to zftxt as syntax

   you can disable it by setting:

   let g:zf_txt_auto_highlight=0
   

   or, set the file type to auto enable:

   let g:zf_txt_auto_syntax = ['', 'txt', 'text']
   

   or, you may want to set syntax manually when necessary:

   set syntax=zftxt
   

   or, replace original file type detect:

   autocmd FileType html,markdown set syntax=zftxt
   

3. by default, files that larger than 5MB would be ignored from highlight, you may change this setting by

   let g:zf_txt_large_file=5*1024*1024
   

Add your custom keyword

• to add your custom syntax or keyword, add *.vim file to your rtp (:h rtp), with this directory structure:

  rtp/
      zftxt/
          your_syntax.vim
  

  the *.vim file would be sourced (:h :source) during highlighting, see zftxt.vim itself for examples

Functions

• :call ZF_VimTxtHighlightToggle() : toggle current file syntax
• :call ZF_VimTxtHighlightEcho() or :ZFHIGHLIGHT : echo the highlight info of the word under cursor
