FAQ

Q: Can this be used for anything else?

A: The wrapper functions make it easier to "do something" with a highlighted chunk of text.

This can be extended to:

• format embedded json
• validate a yaml config with jsonschema
• lint a subset of a file (embedded code)
• render a subset of markdown locally (using a tool like grip)

Q: What does this offer over :'<,'>w !command?

A: Not much:

• easier to remember
• tab completion
• a few less characters typed
• you won't accidentally replace file with command output by miss-typing the 'w'

Q: What languages are supported?

A: Node.js, python, bash, posix shell, perl, lua, php. Open a bug or PR if you want something more.
