From aacd2e7d8dc7d84cf00ff63c6fdd932f1136f47c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kelvin M. Klann" Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 20:23:48 -0300 Subject: docs: set vim filetype on man pages for syntax highlighting Since the man pages in src/man use a ".txt" file extension (rather than ".1" or ".5"), their filetype is detected by (neo)vim as "text". So at the bottom of every man page, add a vim modeline in a comment and set the filetype to "groff", to enable syntax highlighting. Note: All of the generated ".man", ".1" and ".5" files are currently being detected as "nroff". Note2: Set the filetype to "groff" rather than "nroff" because at least .UR and .UE are groff extensions. These macros look the same with either filetype, but there may be more extensions being used and the nroff.vim syntax file (which is included by groff.vim) does things differently based on which filetype is used. Based on the following example from (neo)vim's filetype.txt: or add this modeline to the file: /* vim: set filetype=idl : */ See `:help groff.vim` and `:help filetype.txt` in (neo)vim. See also groff_man(7) for the man page macros (including extensions). Environment: neovim 0.7.2-3 on Artix Linux. Misc: I noticed this on #5290. --- src/man/firejail.txt | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'src/man/firejail.txt') diff --git a/src/man/firejail.txt b/src/man/firejail.txt index 087d1c85a..029c9dd36 100644 --- a/src/man/firejail.txt +++ b/src/man/firejail.txt @@ -3611,3 +3611,4 @@ Homepage: https://firejail.wordpress.com .UE , .UR https://github.com/netblue30/firejail .UE +.\" vim: set filetype=groff : -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
