3. Docs for the default filetype plugins. *ftplugin-docs*
+ *plugin_exec* *g:plugin_exec*
+Enable executing of external commands. This was done historically for e.g.
+the perl filetype plugin (and a few others) to set the search path.
+Disabled by default for security reasons: >
+ :let g:plugin_exec = 1
+It is also possible to enable this only for certain filetypes: >
+ :let g:<filetype>_exec = 1
+So to enable this only for ruby, set the following variable: >
+ :let g:ruby_exec = 1
+
+If both, the global `plugin_exec` and the `<filetype>_exec` specific variable
+are set, the filetpe specific variable should have precedent.

AWK *ft-awk-plugin*
Support for features specific to GNU Awk, like @include, can be enabled by
setting: >
- let g:awk_is_gawk = 1
+ :let g:awk_is_gawk = 1
