This is covered in:
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/vimfaq.html#24.1
By default, the Vim syntax highlighting is turned off (except in Red
Hat???). To enable the syntax highlighting, you can use one of the
following commands:
:syntax enable
or
:syntax on
To disable the syntax highlighting, you can use the following command:
:syntax off
For more information, read
:help 06.1
:help 06.4
:help :syntax-enable
:help :syntax-on
:help :syn-clear
