Huh, I didn't know you could embed vim turds into documents.

In seriousness, I sort of dislike embedding editor-specific “nuggets of joy” into documents – I can see why you might do it, but still.

Vim is definitely turd-friendly. You've likely seen them: they look like "vim: foo bar=baz :".

I usually include the following Emacs-and-Vim turd in my reStructuredText documents:

..
Local Variables:
mode: rst
coding: utf-8
End:
vim: filetype-rst :
