-===== VIM Scripts =====
-Introduction to vim scripts  ":help vim-script-intro"\\
-== Running Vim scripts ==
-There is many way to run vim script simple way is to run calling script from `source`
-<code bash>
-:source /home/yahoo/test.vim
-</code>
-You can also call command from script directly
-<code bash>
-:call MyBackupFunc(expand('%'), { 'all':1, 'save':'recent'})
-</code>
-You can do mapping of the keyboard using the variables.
-<code bash>
-:nmap ;s :source /home/yahoo/test.vim<CR>
-</code>
-The key sequence `;s` will execute the specified script file\\
-You can call fucntion using the stored mapping same way.
-<code bash>
-:nmap \b :call MyBackupFunc(expand('%'), { 'all': 1 })<CR>
-</code>
-To call the function you need to call enter squence `\b`
-=== syntax highlighting ===
-VIM support syntax highlighting. to turn it on.
-<code bash>
-:syntax on
-</code>
-to turn it off
-<code bash>
-:syntax off
-</code>
-=== VIM Variable / Initialization (.vimrc) ===
-OR
-=== You can use .exrc ===
-== toggle syntax highlighting ==
-<code bash>
-function! ToggleSyntax()
-   if exists("g:syntax_on")
-      syntax off
-   else
-      syntax enable
-   endif
-endfunction
-nmap <silent>  ;s  :call ToggleSyntax()<CR>
-</code>
-`;s` sequence to flip syntax highlighting on or off every time typed when you're in Normal mode.\\
-nmap stands for "normal-mode key mapping".\\
-<silent>  option causes the mapping not to echo any command it's executing.
-==  Creating centered titles ==
-<code bash>
-function! CapitalizeCenterAndMoveDown()
-   s/\<./\u&/g   "Built-in substitution capitalizes each word
-   center        "Built-in center command centers entire line
-   +1            "Built-in relative motion (+1 line down)
-endfunction
-nmap <silent>  \C  :call CapitalizeCenterAndMoveDown()<CR>
-</code>
-single backslash used for continuation marker
-<code bash>
-call SetName(
-\             first_name,
-\             middle_initial,
-\             family_name
-\           )
-</code>
-Also you can use "|" to write two line on singe line.
-<code bash>
-echo "Starting..." | call Phase(1) | call Phase(2) | echo "Done"
-</code>
-You can comment using single quote, as double quote used to define a string.\\
-also you can use "|" to escape the comment in some cases.
-<code bash>
-echo "> " |"Print generic prompt
-</code>
-=== Defining variable ===
-to define variable you need to use word `let`
-<code bash>
-let name = "Damian"
-let height = 165
-let interests = [ 'Cinema', 'Literature', 'World Domination', 101 ]
-let phone     = { 'cell':5551017346, 'home':5558038728, 'work':'?' }
-</code>
-    *  scalar: a single value, such as a string or a number. For example: "Damian" or 165
-    * list: an ordered sequence of values delimited by square brackets, with implicit integer indices starting at zero. For example: ['Cinema', 'Literature', 'World Domination', 101]
-    * dictionary: an unordered set of values delimited by braces, with explicit string keys. For example: {'cell':5551017346, 'home':5558038728, 'work':'?'}
-=== Sample .vimrc ===
-<code bash>
-set number
-"       show line number
-set nocompatible
-"       This setting prevents vim from emulating the original vi's bugs and limitations.
-set autoindent
-set smartindent
-"       The first setting tells vim to use "autoindent"
-"       (that is, use the current line's indent level to set the indent level of newlines).
-"       The second makes vim attempt to intelligently guess the indent level of any new line based on the previous line,
-"       assuming the source file is in a C-like language. Combined, they are very useful in writing well-formatted source code.
-set tabstop=4
-set shiftwidth=4
-"       I prefer 4-space tabs to 8-space tabs. The first setting sets up 4-space tabs,
-"       and the second tells vi to use 4 spaces when text is indented (auto or with the manual indent adjustmenters.)
-set showmatch
-"       This setting will cause the cursor to very briefly jump to a brace/parenthese/bracket's "match"
-"       whenever you type a closing or opening brace/parenthese/bracket.
-"       I've had almost no mismatched-punctuation errors since I started using this setting.
-set guioptions-=T
-"       I find the toolbar in the GUI version of vim (gvim) to be somewhat useless visual clutter.
-"       This option gets rid of the toolbar.
-set vb t_vb=
-"       This setting prevents vi from making its annoying beeps when a command doesn't work.
-"       Instead, it briefly flashes the screen -- much less annoying.
-set ruler
-"       This setting ensures that each window contains a statusline that displays the current cursor position.
-set nohls
-"       By default, search matches are highlighted. I find this annoying most of the time.
-"       This option turns off search highlighting. You can always turn it back on with :set hls.
-set incsearch
-"       With this nifty option, vim will search for text as you enter it.
-"       For instance, if you type /bob to search for bob, vi will go to the first "b" after you type the "b,"
-"       to the first "bo" after you type the "o," and so on.
-"       It makes searching much faster, since if you pay attention you never have to enter
-"       more than the minimum number of characters to find your target location.
-"       Make sure that you press Enter to accept the match after vim finds the location you want.
-set virtualedit=all
-"       By default, vim doesn't let the cursor stray beyond the defined text.
-"       This setting allows the cursor to freely roam anywhere it likes in command mode.
-"       It feels weird at first but is quite useful.
-"       Type :help options within vim to get a complete list of options.
-highlight Comment ctermfg=green
-"       Comments are shown in a brightgreen color which is visible clearly as against
-"       a dark blue which is annoyingly hard to read to read, at least to me.

-==== Basic Info ====
-== Variable scoping ==
-<code text>
-g: varname  	 The variable is global
-s: varname 	The variable is local to the current script file
-w: varname 	The variable is local to the current editor window
-t: varname 	The variable is local to the current editor tab
-b: varname 	The variable is local to the current editor buffer
-l: varname 	The variable is local to the current function
-a: varname 	The variable is a parameter of the current function
-v: varname 	The variable is one that Vim predefines
-</code>
-== pseudovariables ==
-<code text>
-& varname  	 A Vim option (local option if defined, otherwise global)
-&l: varname 	A local Vim option
-&g: varname 	A global Vim option
-@ varname 	A Vim register
-$ varname 	An environment variable
