OpenLaszlo Syntax Highlighting for MacVim/Vim

By Lee in OpenLaszlo, Web Development. Posted on December 28th

The OpenLaszlo documentation isn’t specific about how to install syntax highlighting for vim on mac. So we thought we would write up a little blurb about how to do it!

Copy the lzx.vim syntax file to dot vim directory in your home directory
cp openlaszlo/trunk/tools/lzx.vim ~/.vim/syntax/

Create a file called .vimrc.local for your custom vim modifications also in your home directory
mvim ~/.vimrc.local

Finally, add an autocommand that will auto detect the file type
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.lzx set ft=lzx

Reference:
For more information about vim file types you might want to check out http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/filetype.html
