[pm-h] Vim folding

[Julian Brown]

I am hoping one of you know how to solve my problem with Vim folding.

I can fold manually, and via marks.   I cannot get folding to work with
syntax.  But I do not like to use either as they are a pain in the neck and
not worth the hassle.

So in this screenshot:

:set foldmethod=syntax

I then move my cursor to a sub

<esc>zf

[image: Inline image 1]

My cursor is on line 19 position 0.

The error message is E350: Cannot create fold with current 'foldmethod'

I am on Debian Wheezy,

I have read that Vim has some problems with syntax folding and am wondering
if and how you all use syntax folding.

I have this same problem on my cPanel vm's as well, so I am hoping Julian
is ignorant and does not know what he is doing and you all can straighten
him out.   :)

Thanx

Julian
