I'm not getting highlighting syntax for .twig files..

[Javier Garcia]

Hi,

I have installed .vim/syntax/htmljinja.vim and wrote this in my .vimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.twig set syntax=htmljinja

Any idea?

7.3.912

Try:

'au BufRead,BufNewFile {*.twig} set ft=htmljinja'

The {} are not necessary.

That's right. Only if you intend to add more than one file extension (I
copied & pasted it straight out of my vimrc & deleted as appropriate).

Cheers,

     This advice comes down to "set the 'ft' option instead of the 'syntax' option."  I think that misses the point:  setting 'syntax' should work.

     Probably you do not have  a syntax file for htmljinja,  Last I checked, there is none included with the standard vim distribution.  Either download and install a syntax file for htmljinja or use something similar, like htmldjango (which is included in the standard distro).  While editing a .twig file, try

:set syntax=htmldjango

and see whether you like it.  If so, add an autocommand to your vimrc file.  If not, then make sure you have a syntax file for htmljinja.

     Another possibility:  if you *do* already have a syntax file for htmljinja and you added an autocommand to your vimrc file, did you  restart vim after editing vimrc?

Thanks, works!
