I've been attempting to follow the instructions on the Vim wiki to get the matchit plugin working with ColdFusion (*.cfm) files containing both ColdFusion and HTML tags running on MacVim.
I've got the syntax file for ColdFusion (cf.vim) installed in $HOME/.vim/syntax/cf.vim, the latest version of matchit installed in .vim/plugin/matchit.vim, and I've added the following block to the end of the end of matchit.vim:
au FileType html,jsp,php,cf if !exists("b:match_words") |
I also added the following line to the end of my $HOME/.vimrc file:
filetype plugin on
Finally I added the suggested block to the end of cf.vim:
" Only do this when not done yet for this buffer
if exists("b:did_ftplugin")
finish
endif
" Don't load another plugin for this buffer
let b:did_ftplugin = 1
if exists("loaded_matchit")
let b:match_words = '<cfif\>.\{-}>\|<cfif\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<cfelseif\>.\{-}>\|<cfelseif\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<cfelse\>.\{-}>\|<cfelse\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<\/cfif>,'
\ . '<cfloop\>.\{-}>\|<cfloop\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<\/cfloop\>.\{-}>,'
\ . '<cfoutput\>.\{-}>\|<cfoutput\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<\/cfoutput\>.\{-}>,'
\ . '<cftimer\>.\{-}>\|<cftimer\>.\{-}$:'
\ . '<\/cftimer\>.\{-}>,'
\ . '<!---:--->,'
\ . '<cfquery\>.\{-}>\|<cfquery\>.\{-}$:<\/cfquery\>.\{-}>,'
\ . '<cfscript>:<\/cfscript>'
" Since we are counting things outside of comments only,
" It is important we account comments accurately or match_words
" will be wrong and therefore useless
syntax sync fromstart
endif " exists("loaded_matchit")
However when I press the % key to jump to the matching tag it only half works, based on the file extension. If the file has a .cfm extension I can jump from <cfif> to </cfif> but not <body> to </body> for example. The situation is reversed if the extension is .html.
However looking a the code for cf.vim it appears that it should work with ColdFusion and HTML tags mixed in the same file:
" Inherit syntax rules from the standard HTML syntax file
if version < 600
source <sfile>:p:h/html.vim
else
runtime! syntax/html.vim
endif
On a related note I added:
let b:match_ignorecase = 1
to $HOME/.vimrc to disable case sensitivity as stated in the documentation, but it still only works with cfif and not CFIF for example.
