+# VIM syntax file for new easychair review form syntax
+
+The [EasyChair review system](https://easychair.org/) changed the syntax of the
+offline review form text files. This motivated me to update my old syntax files
+from 2010 to the new version.
+
+Installation is easy with your favorite plugin manager, e.g.,
+[vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
+````
+Plug 'shuber2/easychair2-syntax'
+````
