Installation
https://github.com/kazimuth/dwarffortress.vim
(If you've ever installed vim plugins before, it should be pretty painless.)

What is Vim?
I've always thought of vim as the Dwarf Fortress of text editors: it's an anachronistic, bewildering ASCII interface, but once you know your way around it, you're made. (The basics only take a few hours.) If you're interested in learning vim, I'd check out the book A Byte of Vim, which is free to read online. Then, you can install git and vim-plug, which will let you install dwarffortress.vim, so you can mod faster than ever before!

Configuration
See :help dwarffortress

Features
Currently this plugin only provides syntax highlighting. As a general rule, it tries to highlight anything that's built into the game, and not highlight things that aren't; but that can get a little fuzzy.

I'm open to adding more features, like custom snippets or autocomplete support, but I'm not entirely sure what would be useful, since I don't actually do too much raw modding myself. Let me know if you have ideas, or just open a PR if you want to add stuff.
