2. Activation *matchit-activate*

|

You can use this script as a plugin, by copying it to your plugin directory.
|
||||
See |add-global-plugin| for instructions. You can also add a line to your
|
||||
|vimrc| file, such as >

:source $VIMRUNTIME/macros/matchit.vim

or >

:runtime macros/matchit.vim

Either way, the script should start working the next time you start up Vim.

(Earlier versions of the script did nothing unless a |buffer-variable| named
|

|b:match_words| was defined. Even earlier versions contained autocommands
|

that set this variable for various file types. Now, |b:match_words| is

TROUBLESHOOTING *matchit-troubleshoot*
|
||||
|
||||
The script should work in most installations of Vim. It may not work if Vim
|
||||
was compiled with a minimal feature set, for example if the |+syntax| option
|
||||
was not enabled. If your Vim has support for syntax compiled in, but you do
|
||||
not have |syntax| highlighting turned on, matchit.vim should work, but it may
|
||||
fail to skip matching groups in comments and strings. If the |filetype|
|
||||
mechanism is turned off, the |b:match_words| variable will probably not be
|
||||
defined automatically.

if/else/endif in Vim scripts, etc. Very useful, although it's not backwards

compatible (that's why it is not enabled by default).

This plugin comes with documentation: "matchit.txt". Let's first copy the

plugin to the right directory. This time we will do it from inside Vim, so

|
||||
non-standard place (it usually resides in a sub-folder called `doc/`).
|
||||
|
||||
