From 400d7772cc7f990f93330d3652545147f60ff3cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gustavo Niemeyer Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 11:12:45 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] misc/vim: Document better syntax sync parameter Forcing the synchronization of 500 lines is both slower and less precise than searching for a known sync point. Unfortunately, though, the way to synchronize correctly is using the grouphere instruction, which has a bug. I've already proposed the fix to Vim, so future releases should have this working. We can continue using the 500 lines syncing for now. This change just documents the proper way to sync.
