Re: How to fix broken automatic indentation in vim

Gary,

thanks for your effort in trying to help me find the problem. Did you try to
format the file using your vim installation? I'd like to confirm that the
problem really is not with my vim installation but with the plugin itself as
you suspect. If the problem is with the plugin I will try to contact the
author and hopefully he'll be able to help me.

BTW, the file with which I have the problem uses the VHDL-93 syntax (which
is the latest widely used syntax, BTW).

Cheers,

Didly
