Persistent :set syntax for a given filetype?

Question

I\'m working on a Symfony2 project which uses Twig, and the filetypes are myfile.html.twig. Vim doesn\'t automatically detect the syntax highlighting and so applies

Answer 1

Add one of the following passages to your .vimrc:

" Set the filetype based on the file's extension, overriding any
" 'filetype' that has already been set
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.html.twig set filetype=html

or

" Set the filetype based on the file's extension, but only if
" 'filetype' has not already been set
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.html.twig setfiletype html
