vim-geant4-syntax

Basic syntax highlighting for the Geant4 Detector Simulation Framework http://geant4.cern.ch/

Usage

There are several methods for activating this plugin's syntax highlighting:

Command	Short hand
:setfiletype cpp.geant4	:setf cpp.geant4
:set filetype=cpp.geant4	:se ft=cpp.geant4
:set syntax=cpp.geant4	:se syn=cpp.geant4

So long as Vim had detected the use of c , cpp or cc before, which it almost certainly would if you have the following in your vimrc.

filetype on
syntax enable

Although setting the filetype is more semantically correct, there can be some issues with plugins that use the &filetype variable to add functionality. If this occurs, then please inject the highlighting by setting the &syntax variable, as described above.

Reïterating the safest method is to use:

:se syn+=.geant4
