Custom syntax in VIM

In VIM, you can define a custom syntax to display comments differently from XDS parameters. This aids legibility.

• put

syntax match XDS_Comment /!.*$/

into ~/.vim/syntax/inp.vim (create file if it doesn't exist)

• put

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.INP set filetype=inp

into ~/.vim/ftdetect/inp.vim (create file if it doesn't exist)

• put

highlight def link XDS_Comment Comment

into ~/.vimrc (create file if it doesn't exist)
