nginx.vim

Description

Vim plugin for Nginx

Features

The plugin is based on the recent vim-plugin distributed with nginx-1.12.0 and additionally features the following syntax improvements:

• Highlight IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
• Mark insecure ssl_protocols as errors
• Inline template syntax highlight for ERB and Jinja
• Inline syntax highlight for LUA
• Improve integer matching
• Syntax highlighting for proxy_next_upstream options
• Syntax highlighting for sticky options
• Syntax highlighting for upstream server options
• More to come!

Furthermore:

• Remove annoying delimiters, resulting in strange word-boundaries

Note: Also check out sslsecure.vim: it supports highlighting insecure SSL/TLS cipher suites and protocols in all your files!
