Syntax highlighting not working #39

Closed marmot21 closed 7 years ago

marmot21 commented 7 years ago

I have installed the plugin using Vundle, however I am not seeing the correct syntax highlighting.

I have tried disabling all other plugs, no change.

You need to set g:cpp_experimental_simple_template_highlight or g:cpp_experimental_template_highlight before loading after/syntax/cpp.vim file. That's Because bit is checking those variables on creating syntax (when syntax file is parsed), not when source code is highlighted.

Simply add 

let g:cpp_experimental_template_highligh =1

to your vimrc.

I added that line to my vimrc file, no effect, but I see you're right - if I do let g:cpp_experimental_template_highligh =1 then set syntax=cpp it works.

Why would it not be working when it's in the vimrc file?

dawikur commented 7 years ago

I would say wrong order of assigning variable and loading plugin, but I am not sure. I don't know your vimrc so this is just a guess.

Glad the issue has been resolved. Closing.
