The default vim has a matchpairs option which matches pairs of single bytes.
However, I have a file which has a lot of nested conditions, and the language requires begin/end pairs for multi-line conditionals. I know I have more begin statements than end statements. So, I need help from vim in matching these up.
As it turns out, there’s a matchit macro in $VIMRUNTIME/macros that lets you extend the % command to match more complex expressions (including regular expressions). It also exists here. Install instructions are included on the vim.org page. Basically, you unzip in your ~/.vim directory and then and run a helptags command.
