Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/MatchTagAlways.vim & ~/.vimrc

Hi Valloric,

I am currently using MatchTagAlways with Vim on Fedora 20 and it seems that the backlashes "" that are used to break the lines in MatchTagAlways.vim and ~/.vimrc are not recognized by Vim 7.4 on Fedora anymore. On Windows everything works perfectly. Here is the error console for MatchTagsAlways.vim:

[phongvcao@localhost ~]$ vim

Press ENTER or type command to continue

To fix this, I had to eliminate all the "" character from ~/.vimrc and MatchTagAlways.vim. For example I had to use this:
let g:mta_filetypes = { 'html' : 1, 'xhtml' : 1, 'xml' : 1, 'jinja' : 1, 'php' : 1, }

instead of:
let g:mta_filetypes = {
\ 'html' : 1,
\ 'xhtml' : 1,
\ 'xml' : 1,
\ 'jinja' : 1,
}

So just a small note to you that you should eliminate all the "" in MatchTagAlways' source code and tutorial so that new users won't get this kind of error message.

Thank you Valloric for writing such a great plugin. I found out MatchTagAlways from StackOverflow.

Have a great day buddy!

Best regards,

Hi,

Using Vundle on Fedora fix this issue. You should mark "Using Vundle or Pathogen" as a Requirement for this plugin to work.

Thank you for such a great Plugin!
