Hi.
I have some help files along with my scripts and I wanto give them a better
formatting.
So far the text layout is not too  bad, but I am wondering is there is
anyway to make some letter to appear as bold or italic, like when you write
a wiki.
Is this possible with vim help files format????

Pablo,
You might have a look at the following plugin:

Txtfmt (The Vim Highlighter)
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208

Txtfmt can be used either as a standalone filetype, or in conjunction with other filetypes (e.g., Vim "help"), to beautify your documents with word processor style highlighting. Txtfmt allows you to create arbitrary regions involving any combination of bold, underline, italic, etc..., as well as both foreground and background colors. The following site contains screenshots. (Note that there are multiple tabs in addition to "Home": the "ywchaos", "Jnl and Txtfmt" and "ywtxt" tabs show Txtfmt regions supplementing the statically-defined regions of other wiki/journal filetypes.)

Looks really cool!
Thanks Stahlman

To use Txtfmt within a Vim help file, you would need to set the filetype to help.txtfmt. One way to do this would be with the following modeline:

       vim:ft=help.txtfmt

If you decide to give it a try, there's a "Quick-Start Tutorial" on the download page that explains how to add the highlighting regions. Let me know if anything is unclear...

Sincerely,
Brett Stahlman

thanks
