How do I get vim to show my mistakes in color ?


I as being helped by a fellow geek and he used an argument with vim to show missing  second qoutes and other syntax rules.  

It was pretty cool.

Great tutorial but it does not point out what I want.  

It just happens to come out in color so I can not search for "color" .

You can look at the syntax rules available with:

:syntax

And can be activated with:

:syntax enable


etc etc (all viewable within the :help syntax file)

HTH:)
You rock!!!
