vim-madlib is a plugin for madlib written in VimScript. It is still very much a work-in-progress plugin. It provides syntax highlighting (but not yet perfect syntax highlighting) and should make working with Madlib in vim less painful.

Work is largely paused on this effort; the future plan is to move this plugin into Lua and design for usage within NeoVim (this plugin works with NeoVim but if you have a mixed Lua / VimScript configuration it is slightly painful).

Usage with vim-plug

Plug 'madlib-lang/vim-madlib'

Auto-format on save

This passes the current file to madlib format via exec:

function! MadlibFormat()
  let l:view = winsaveview()
  exec "%! xargs -J{} -0 madlib format --text {}"
  if v:shell_error != 0
    undo
  endif
  call winrestview(l:view)
endfunction

autocmd BufWritePre *.mad call MadlibFormat()

Recommended Additional Plugins:

• vim-commentary - This adds comment toggling behavior. Add autocmd FileType madlib setlocal commentstring=//\ %s for single-line comments
