6
7manual.vim	Used for the ":syntax manual" command.  Uses synload.vim.
8
9synload.vim	Contains autocommands to load a language file when a certain
10		file name (extension) is used.  And sets up the Syntax menu
11		for the GUI.
12
13nosyntax.vim	Used for the ":syntax off" command.  Undo the loading of
14		synload.vim.

25If you want to write a syntax file, read the docs at ":help usr_44.txt".

27If you make a new syntax file which would be useful for others, please send it
28to Bram@vim.org.  Include instructions for detecting the file type for this
29language, by file name extension or by checking a few lines in the file.
30And please write the file in a portable way, see ":help 44.12".

32If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of
33that file.  Only when you get no response send a message to Bram@vim.org.

35If you are the maintainer of a syntax file and make improvements, send the new
36version to Bram@vim.org.
