vim-docvim provides additional syntax highlighting for Vim script files that contain embedded docvim comments.
docvim (the tool, not this plug-in) is a documentation generator that processes those embedded comments and produces documentation in Markdown and Vim "help" formats. To avoid confusion, this document refers to the Vim plug-in as "vim-docvim" and the separate generation tool as "docvim".
To install vim-docvim, use your plug-in management system of choice.
If you don't have a "plug-in management system of choice", I recommend Pathogen (https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) due to its simplicity and robustness. Assuming that you have Pathogen installed and configured, and that you want to install vim-docvim into ~/.vim/bundle, you can do so with:
git clone https://github.com/wincent/vim-docvim.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-docvim
Alternatively, if you use a Git submodule for each Vim plug-in, you could do the following after cd-ing into the top-level of your Git superproject:
git submodule add https://github.com/wincent/vim-docvim.git ~/vim/bundle/vim-docvim
git submodule init
To generate help tags under Pathogen, you can do so from inside Vim with:
:call pathogen#helptags()
The Docvim tool itself is a Haskell module, available at:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/docvim
