Hi szw,
I really like the concept of vim-ctrlspace but the fact that the documentation is updated in the README and not in the doc.txt doesn't help new users like me.
Using :help ctrlspace to have all the necessary information would be really a good thing because it wouldn't break the user's workflow (contrary to opening the README with the tables in html format).
Keep up the work.

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to update Vim help on weekend. I agree that reading html tables as a text file is cumbersome. They are purely intended to be rendered as in the README on Github. For a Vim help text version I need to prepare something else and therefore it's not the plain Copy-Paste-Reformat case ;).

BTW, I think some general introductory sections of README are unnecessary in the doc file (like "About", "Demo", or "Installation"). Any thoughts on that?

Yes, I also think that these sections should stay only in the README.

  • "About" may be a bit longer to be included in the help file
  • the link to the video in "Demo" should be kept because the video is great and explains very well what the plugin does
  • "Installation" is useless because if the user reads the help file that means that he/she has already installed the plugin

Tell me if you need some help to convert the html tables into something more human readable (reStructuredText, Markdown?)

Ok :).

As to tables, I think Markdown has nothing besides HTML to render tables. Perhaps I will try to handle tables in a reStructuredText fashion or just replace them with plain text.
