==============================================================================
2. Vimball Manual *vimball-manual*
*:MkVimball*
:[range]MkVimball[!] filename
This command takes lines holding a path to files to be included in
your vimball; as an example: >
plugin/something.vim
doc/something.txt
< using MkVimball on this range will create a file called "filename.vba"
which can be used by Vimball.vim to re-create these files. If the
"filename.vba" file already exists, then MkVimball will issue a
warning and not create the file. Note that these paths are relative
to your .vim (vimfiles) directory, and the files should be in that
directory. The vimball plugin uses the first |'runtimepath'|directory
that exists as a prefix; don't use absolute paths.
If you use the exclamation point (!), then MkVimball will create the
"filename.vba" file, overwriting it if it already exists. This
behavior resembles that for |:w|.
*vimball-extract*
vim filename.vba
Simply editing a Vimball will cause Vimball.vim to tell the user to
source the file to extract its contents.
Extraction will only proceed if the first line of a putative vimball
file holds the "Vimball Archiver by Charles E. Campbell, Jr., Ph.D."
line.
:VimballList *vimball-vimballlist*
This command will tell Vimball to list the files in the archive, along
with their lengths in lines.
==============================================================================
3. Vimball History *vimball-history* {{{1
11 : Apr 27, 2006 * VimballList would create missing subdirectories that
the vimball specified were needed. Fixed.
10 : Apr 27, 2006 * moved all setting saving/restoration to a pair of
functions. Included some more settings in them
which frequently cause trouble.
9 : Apr 26, 2006 * various changes to support Windows prediliction
for backslashes and spaces in file and directory
names.
7 : Apr 25, 2006 * bypasses foldenable
* uses more exe and less norm! (:yank :put etc)
* does better at insuring a "Press ENTER" prompt
appears to keep its messages visible
4 : Mar 31, 2006 * BufReadPost seems to fire twice; BufReadEnter
only fires once, so the "Source this file..."
message is now issued only once.
3 : Mar 20, 2006 * removed query, now requires sourcing to be
extracted (:so %). Message to that effect
included.
* :VimballList now shows files that would be
extracted.
2 : Mar 20, 2006 * query, :UseVimball included
1 : Mar 20, 2006 * initial release
