Vim, originally developed in 1991 by Bram Moolenaar, is a popular text editor designed as an extended version of vi. It provides many additional features to help with editing source code. It's most popular on Unix-like operating systems but is cross-platform. Vim is free and open-source software released under a software license compatible with the GNU General Public License. Vim has a built-in tutorial for users who are new to it. Additionally, the Vim Users' Manual offers advanced features and can be read from within Vim or found online. Vim enables users to query and navigate through commands and features via its built-in help facility using the :help command.
To install jptemplate, make sure you have Vim, copy jptemplate.vim to the VIM plugin directory, and configure Vim by defining the directory where all templates can be found. The default directory is $HOME/.vim/jptemplate, but you can define your directory by adding "let g:jpTemplateDir = '/path/to/the/template/directory'" to your .vimrc file. Enjoy!
