+*52.6* Vim9 script examples: comment package, highlight-yank plugin
+
+COMMENT PACKAGE
+
+Vim comes with a comment plugin, written in Vim9 script |comment-install|.
+Have a look at the package located at $VIMRUNTIME/pack/dist/opt/comment/
+
+HIGHLIGHT YANK PLUGIN
+
+Here is an example for highlighting the yanked region. It makes use of the
+|getregionpos()| function, available since Vim 9.1.0446.
+
+Copy the following example into a new file and place it into your plugin directory
+and it will be active next time you start Vim |add-plugin|: >
+
