INSTALL #8

could you add an INSTALL file explaining how to get this into a local vim installation for the vim-impaired :-)

hsitz commented 13 years ago

I will try to add a few more words on next update. But it basically installs like any other Vim ftplugin, all the files go in the corresponding subdirectory in the user's .vim directory (on Linux/Mac) or the user's 'vimfiles' directory (on Windows). Then there is some minor stuff to add to your existing vimrc file (or just temporarily copy and use the supplied vimrc), and a recompile of Vim itself using the patch in the contrib directory is highly recommended but not necessary.

Unfortunately, the current unpolished state of the plugin itself is that if someone is not familiar with how to install Vim plugins they're not likely to be happy working around its bugs, rough edges, and lack of documentation, even if someone installed it for them. That will change, but for now thats just the way it is.

If you have specific questions and/or problems I'm happy to help. Try posting at:
