Tutor is a "hands on" tutorial for new users of the Vim editor.

Most new users can get through it in less than one hour. The result

is that you can do a simple editing task using the Vim editor.

Tutor is a file that contains the tutorial lessons. You can simply

execute "vim tutor1" and then follow the instructions in the lessons.

The lessons tell you to modify the file, so DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR

ORIGINAL COPY.

On UNIX-like systems you can also use the "vimtutor" program.

It will make a scratch copy of the tutor first.

I have considered adding more advanced lessons but have not found the

time. Please let me know how you like it and send any improvements you

make.

All of the above regarding chapter one of the tutorial also applies to chapter

two of the tutorial. Except that you must use the command “vim tutor2” to open

chapter two.

The chapter two of the tutorial was written by Paul D. Parker.

Translation

-----------

The files tutor1.xx and tutor1.xx.utf-8 for chapter one and tutor2.xx and

tutor2.xx.utf-8 for chapter two of the tutorial are translated files (where xx

is the language code).

The encoding of tutor1.xx or tutor2.xx might be latin1 or other traditional

encoding. If you don't need a translation with such traditional encoding,

you just need to prepare the tutor1.xx.utf-8 or tutor2.xx.utf-8 file.

If you need another encoding, you can also prepare a file named tutor1.xx.enc or

tutor2.xx.enc (replace enc with the actual encoding name). You might also need

to adjust the tutor.vim file.

The "make" command can be used for creating tutor1.xx or tutor2.xx from

tutor.xx.utf-8 or tutor2.xx.utf-8, respectively.

See the Makefile for detail. (For some languages, tutor1.xx.utf-8 is created

from tutor1.xx for historical reasons.)
