How to open the doc file for a vim plugin?
I just downloaded the Rails vim plugin from here.
One of the file that it contain is a doc file that will be extracted to ~/.vim/doc/rails.txt
How do I open the content of this help file in vim
?
I tried :help rails
to no avail.
Solution 1:
After installing a new help file into ~/.vim/doc, you need to rebuild the help tags file:
:helptags ~/.vim/doc
Then your :help rails
command should work.
Solution 2:
garyjohn's answer is right, but I just want to mention that pathogen provides an easy way to run helptags for each plugin (note the case):
:Helptags
