Re: Switching syntax highlighting

Thank you all for the answers!

Yes, I'm actually using it to highlight whitespace... I know it's a
programming language on its own, but it works perfectly well for my
needs so I don't see a reason to install extra plugins for it.

I hadn't realized that b:current_syntax had a special meaning... that
clearly explains the problem with the tmp var and makes me feel like an
idiot =)
But even after changing that (now I've named it b:current_buffer_syntax
and I can see that this one's not used) problem 2) keeps happening.
Maybe this buffer variables don't work the way I though they did...? I'd
like to store the syntax of each buffer I have open, how can this be done?
