Vim functions documentation

[Julius Hamilton]

Hey,

I would like to write a command or function in Vim which will return True or False based on some properties of the text in the file. I assume this will be done with the Vim Script language (http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_41.html).

I thought that sections of the User Manual usually corresponded to a more definitive, in-depth chapter in the Reference Manual, but I see no discussion of a corresponding reference manual section here.

Is there a reference manual chapter on functions and vim script?

Thank you,

Julius

How about :help user-functions

I'll add a reference at the end of 41.7.

See :h usr_41, to a certain extent :h usr_40, and :h eval (particularly
section 4 on builtin functions and section 5 on defining functions).
