Re: Display more characters as one

But maybe one more question to this topic, though:

Is it possible to create different conceal "classes"? I mean, when I do some syntax mathching with conceal, I have to link the conceal to only one syntax type like this: "hi! link Conceal Operator". But not all things I want to conceal are necessarily opearors. Is there a solution to this?

Yes, Vim supports this since 7.3. For more information see:

    :help conceal

The following script looks useful:

    http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3200

The script contains installation instructions.
