Link to Vim help pages with ease.
There are several sites which host the Vim help pages in formatted HTML. It's often quite useful to link to this when explaining something.
With this plugin you can make a link to the help section you're viewing. Just
use :Helplink.
I originally wrote this here: http://meta.vi.stackexchange.com/a/1250/51
:Helplink {format} :Helplink
Try to find the tag closest to the cursor (backwards search only) and format it. If multiple tags are found on the same line, it asks the user which one to pick.
This will echo the formatted URL and copy them to the registers in
g:helplink_copy_to_registers.
You can {format} parameter to get a different format; if not given the
value of g:helplink_default_format is used.
g:helplink_copy_to_registers (List, default: ['+', '*'])
Automatically copy the link to these registers.
g:helplink_url (URL, default:
http://vimhelp.appspot.com/%%FILE%%.html#%%TAGNAME_QUOTED%%)
Available placeholders:
%%FILE%%File name (e.g.options.txt)%%TAGNAME%%Tag name (e.g. 'expandtab')%%TAGNAME_QUOTED%%The quoted tag name for use in URLS (e.g. %27expandtab%27)
g:helplink_formats (dict, default:
{
\ 'markdown': "'[`:help ' . l:tagname . '`](' . l:url . ')'",
\ 'html': "'<a href=\"' . l:url . '\">:help ' . l:tagname . '</a>'",
\ 'bbcode': "'[url=' . l:url . '][code]:help ' . l:tagname . '[/code][/url]'"
\}
This string is eval-ed, variables you can use are {l:tagname} and
{l:url}.
g:helplink_default_format (String, default: markdown)
Available formats:
- markdown
- html
- bbcode
You can add your own in g:helplink_formats.
helplink#link([{format}]) helplink#link()
Implements the :Helplink command; the {format} is optional.
