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

  • create file ~/.vim/syntax/inp.vim
syntax match XDS_Comment /!.*$/
  • create file ~/.vim/ftdetect/inp.vim
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.INP set filetype=inp
  • create file ~/.vimrc
highlight def link XDS_Comment Comment
