Multi-filetype support about nerdcommenter HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey Rodrigo

What was probably happening was that the filetype was getting set to html by vim's filetype.vim first, then changed to gsp.html by your autocommand. So nerdcommenter was setting up the html delimiters, but then didnt know how to handle the 'gsp.html' filetype and so left the delimiters as html.

Ive pushed a couple of fixes to this. First, if the filetype is compound (e.g. foo.bar.baz) and the script doesnt know how to handle it, it will break down the filetype into its parts and set the delimiters for the first part that it recognizes. So you could set the filetype to gsp.html and gsp comment delimiters will be set.

Also, i have added a new option called NERDCustomDelimiters. This lets you override or add delimiters for unknown filetypes. In short, you could add something like this to your vimrc:

let g:NERDCustomDelimiters = {
\ 'gsp.html': { 'left': '<!--', 'right': '-->', 'leftAlt': '<%--', 'rightAlt': '--%>' }
\ }

If you install the latest dev version you can see :help NERDCustomDelimiters.

HTH :)

Hi Scrooloose, I've just tested it and it worked great! Thank you a lot!

Let me ask you just one more feature if you don't mind. All GSP files are also HTML files as far as I can tell you. So, it would be great if you could set its alternative comments the same as HTML. Another approach would to automatically set the alternative comment style, when absent, to the main comment style from the second filetype when using multiple filetypes. I still need to set GSP filetype as gsp.html so that I can take advantage of the HTML snippets from the snipMate plugin.

Thank you a lot!

I have added html delimiters as the alternative delimiters for gsp.

Your suggestion about using the next known filetype's main delimiters as the alternative delimiters is pretty good, but for now I think ill keep it simple.
