Vim + Stata

Syntax highlighting and snippets for editing Stata files with vim/neovim.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for .do and .ado scripts.
• Syntax highlighting for .dct dictionary files (used with infile).
• Syntax highlighting for SMCL (Stata help files).
• Snippets for use with UltiSnips.

This project is currently compatible with Stata 15. Several commands introduced in Stata 16 and 17 will not be highlighted correctly. I mostly use Stata 15 and I am unlikely to update this project to support later versions of Stata until I upgrade. Pull requests are welcome.
