+# Toggling Syntax Highlighting
+
+Syntax highlighting in Vim is generally a good thing, but sometimes you need
+to turn it off. This can be achieved with the `syntax` command.
+
+```vim
+:syntax off
+```
+
+When you need that syntax highlighting back again, you can turn it right
+back on like so:
+
+```vim
+:syntax on
+```
+
+See `:h syntax-on` for more details.
