VIM syntax highlighting

VIM syntax highlighting

[Alan Womack]

I want to enable syntax highlighting in my vim sessions, especially for perl.

after reading several faqs I edited a perl file and then did

:syntax on

to which vim replied:

sorry, this command is not implemented

How can I tell if the syntax checking was disabled at compile time?  Or if this message telling me something else?

Vim Syntax Highlighting

[Aurel Wisse]

Hello,

I wrote a new syntax highlighting package for the Vim editor at 
https://github.com/awisse/vim-nftables,
starting from the "official" version 
https://github.com/nfnty/vim-nftables.

All 400+ reserved words of nftables are highlighted in a (hopefully) 
meaningful way, distinguishing
objects, types, constants, expressions and statements whenever 
possible. Comments and suggestions
welcome in "Issues".

Sure. Makes sense.
