@Shuzheng Possibly you just missed it? At the end of :h filetype-indent-on, there's a link to :h indent-expression which explains and links to :h 'indentexpr'.

@Rich - reading the documentation for filetype plugin indent on nothing is mentioned of indentexpr - why is that?

@Shuzheng You don’t need to set indentexpr yourself. You just need to allow Vim to set it automatically with the filetype command I suggested. indentexpr is better than cindent because it is specifically tailored for whichever language you are using. cindent is designed for C so it will work in places where Go syntax is the same as C but will fail when there are differences.

@Rich - yes, the language is Go. I haven’t used indentexpr or cindent in my .vimrc. Why is it better than cindent?
