Question

I’m trying to get syntax highlighting in vim for sqlite3. The tcl_sqlite.vim The install details are:
Place in ~/.vim/syntax/

Activated by uncommenting the option at the top of the tcl.vim file.

I have the tcl.vim file in the my ~/.vim/syntax/

Which lines do i uncomment? What is the option?

Answer 1

Lines 19-29 from tcl.vim are:

" Highlight Options: restart vim, after changing these options.
" let s:tcl_highlight_namespace_bold = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_bookends = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_primary = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_expressions = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_variables = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_secondary = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_options = 1
" let s:tcl_highlight_lcs_are_warnings = 1
" let s:tcl_comments_ignore_nested_braces = 1
let s:tcl_highlight_all = 1

" at the beginning of a line means it’s commented out. It looks like s:tcl_highlight_all is enabled by default so you shouldn’t have to do anything unless you want to cherry-pick which things to highlight, in which case you’d uncomment those lines instead.
