Patch: improved docs for 'hlsearch' and :nohlsearch #42

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The :nohlsearch command is named somewhat unfortunatelly. Years ago, as a 
newbie, I came to believe that it is a convenience shortcut for :set 
nohlsearch. Instead of using :nohlsearch, I created a mapping using 
'invhlsearch'. Over time, this misconception of mine introduced unpleasant side 
effects, most notably when sourcing files from autocommands.

I believe this is mainly a documentation issue. The attached patches try to 
improve the 'pattern.txt' and 'options.txt' files.
