Hi All,
Could anyone please direct me what options i need to use/enable for while writing playbooks in vi editor colour indication lines as mentioned attached example.
Thank you in advance.

Attached is my vimrc file. Place it in ~/.vimrc. This also maps F7 to toggle syntax highlighting. VIM has syntax aware code. You just need to enable it.

Thank you for your assistance. I have just applied what you suggested but I still see there is no coloring format for my anisble playbooks. Please see attached file and request to suggest if something I’m missing.
Thank you again for your time.
I see it for vimrc
:if exists(“syntax_on”) | syntax off | else | syntax on | endif
What distro/environment are you using? Typically with Red Hat-based distros you need the vim-enhanced package installed for colour syntax highlighting.
It is in Linux server
It is in Linux server
Ubuntu? Red Hat? CentOS? What version? Linux Server is not specific.

There are a number of different variants or flavours of Linux. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions)
If the variant you’re using is based on Red Hat (e.g. Fedora, CentOS or similar) then you may need the additional vim-enhanced RPM installed. (Check with a local administrator if you’re unsure.)
Check the contents of /etc/os-release, that should give some indication of OS flavour (type) for most common distros.
Sorry.
It is red hat entrprise Linux 7.9
It helps I will check it out for rpm install.
Thank you for quick help and providing details.
