How do i enable heading folds?

[dpar]

Hi, I set up viki and added the following to my .vimrc

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.viki set ft=viki
let g:vikiFolds = 'hHl'
let g:vikiFoldMethodVersion = 7

When I open a .viki file with headings (* Heading1, ** Subheading, etc..) and press "zc" to fold headings (tried both inside the heading itself and in text under the heading), i get "E490: No fold found".

I'm kind of a vim newbie but I've had a peek at the code and the "^\*\+" regex does find the headings in my .viki files. What am i missing?

Thank you,

If the buffer looks like this:

---BEGIN---
* Foo

** Bar
---END---

Then typing /^\*\+<cr> where <cr> is the enter button, doesn't match anything?

What is the value of magic:

:echo &magic

[dpar]

/^\*\+ matches * in line 1 and ** in line 3

:echo &magic returns 1

BTW: ":echo &foldmethod" returns "manual"  and ":echo &foldexpr" returns 0
Shouldn't it be "expr" and 1 or 2 depending on where in the example buffer i am?

Thank you,

ftplugin/viki sets these options:

setlocal foldexpr=VikiFoldLevel(v:lnum)
setlocal foldtext=VikiFoldText()

You could try
:verb set foldexpr
to find out where foldexpr was set.

Tom

Ah, it was a PEBCAK issue. I didn't read the requirements carefully and forgot to add

set nocompatible
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

to my .vimrc

Folding works after i added that.

Thank you for your help. Great plugin!
