'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy to spot the +folds and open or close them. +.SH OPTIONS +Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "\-O" argument was used. +To use horizontal splits instead, use the "\-o" argument. +.PP +For all other arguments see vim(1). +.SH SEE ALSO +vim(1) +.SH AUTHOR +Most of +.B Vim +was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others. +See ":help credits" in +.B Vim. |
