Re: OT: vim syntax highlight on C program files only?

[Rob Hudson <rob@euglug.net>]

I found stuff like this before and have been using it:

" When using mutt or slrn, text width=72
autocmd BufRead  mutt*[0-9]                    set tw=72
autocmd BufRead  .followup,.article,.letter    set tw=72
"
" Text files have a text width of 72 characters
autocmd BufNewFile *.txt                       set tw=72
autocmd BufRead    *.txt                       set tw=72


I'm sure the same could be said for C files, like so:
autocmd BufNewFile *.c        set formatoptions=croql cindent
autocmd BufRead    *.c        set formatoptions=croql cindent
