editing html files vs viewing html files

[fbrau]

The html viewer is cute and sometimes it saves the day but for serious development or viewing is pretty vague.

Setting the syntax mode on the elvis.syn wont do nothing (I read it somewhere in the docs) I have fixed syntax mode in elvis.arf (or elvis.brf, dont remember).

But now when I open the :help I get syntax mode too.

I think elvis should accept set declarations related to the syntax in elvis.syn (currently does not) or even better some kind of pattern to decide which mode html files get considering the help files should always be in html mode.

I can hardly understand what you are talking about.

You are opening html files in syntax mode instead of html mode and want to see help files in html mode? What about :display html then? (Or, without changing elvis' configuration, what about :display syntax html in a html file?)

.html files in sytax mode and help html files in htmlmode but automatically not calling display

Thanks for the pull request, @fbrau , I'll take a look at it on the weekend. Regarding this debate - I've stumbled across this behaviour, too. However I got used to it. If somebody wants to create a patch, I'll be fine with it as long as any changed behaviour will be optional.
