Syntax config file: http://www.sentia.org/downloads/pf.vim

Copy it to your syntax dir, then type ':setf pf'. "

This looks like a handy way to visually sift through complex rulesets more efficiently. Thank you Camiel!

    It's a little bit to colorful for my tastes, but anything that will help me parse a pf ruleset quickly is appreciated.

    I second the thank you. Any tool that helps those of us that don't build firewalls on a daily basis do our job better and faster is much appreciated.

    Is it going to make it to editors/vim ? :)

    You should submit this to the vim folks for inclusion in the next release.

    I don't much care if line-continuation characters are colored, but if it is possible to highlight any whitespace after a and before the CR it might help save someone from making a stupid mistake. Good idea? Dumb?

    Thanks for this pretty nice add-on.

    I just thought that it may be usefull to people looking for way to use pf.vim automaticaly.

    Just add:
    " PF.conf
    au BufNewFile,BufRead pf.conf* setf pf

    to $VIMRUNTIMEfiletype.vim (where $VIMRUNTIME si probably /usr/local/share/vim/vim61).

    Most of you may have gessed that but I hope this helps.
