description
**filestyle** automatically checks each opened file.

##### Commands

* `:FileStyleEnable`     - enable plugin globally
* `:FileStyleDisable`    - disable plugin globally
* `:FileStyleActivate`   - enable plugin for current buffer
* `:FileStyleDeactivate` - disable plugin for current buffer
* `:FileStyleCheck`      - check current buffer
* `:FileStyleFix`        - fix style errors

##### Highlighting rules

1. If `'expandtab'` is set, highlight tabs (RED), if not, highlight spaces at
   the beginning of a line (YELLOW).
2. Highlight trailing spaces (CYAN)
3. Highlight line parts that exceed `'textwidth'` (INVERT)
4. Highlight control characters (BLUE)

##### FileStyleFix rules

1. Remove control characters
2. Remove trailing spaces
3. If `'expandtab'` is set, replace tabs with spaces, if not, replace spaces
   at the beginning of a line with tabs

##### Ignore file types

By default, **filestyle** checks all file types. To ignore a file type, for
example `text`, add the following line to your `.vimrc`:

    let g:filestyle_ignore = ['text']

##### Ignore patterns

**filestyle** allows you to specify patterns that should be ignored. To ignore
a pattern, for example quoted lines starting with `>`, add the following line
to your `.vimrc`:

    let g:filestyle_ignore_patterns = ['^\(> \?\)\+$']

##### Known issues

* **filestyle** cannot detect `'textwidth'` changes. If you change `'textwidth'`,
  execute `:FileStyleCheck` to ensure the new width is used for highlighting long
  lines.

* Error E315 is be thrown by Vim in case of `'splitbelow'` option is set
  when `'help'` command is called
