Attached is my vimrc file. Place it in ~/.vimrc. This also maps F7 to toggle syntax highlighting. VIM has syntax aware code. You just need to enable it.

Thank you for your assistance. I have just applied what you suggested but I still see there is no coloring format for my anisble playbooks.  Please see attached file and request to suggest if something I'm missing.

Thank you again for your time.

I see it for vimrc 

<F7>          :if exists("syntax_on") | syntax off | else | syntax on | endif <CR>

What distro/environment are you using? Typically with Red Hat-based distros you need the vim-enhanced package installed for colour syntax highlighting.

Ubuntu? Red Hat? CentOS? What version? Linux Server is not specific.

There are a number of different variants or flavours of Linux. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions)

If the variant you're using is based on Red Hat (e.g. Fedora, CentOS or similar) then you may need the additional vim-enhanced RPM installed. (Check with a local administrator if you're unsure.)

Check the contents of /etc/os-release, that should give some indication of OS flavour (type) for most common distros.
