It took me a while to realize what this picture on the cover of the book "Introduction to Analytic Number Theory" (Apostol, 1976) really means. Special thanks to @LavaboMouille for helping me interpret this picture correctly.

How do you substitute a pattern with newline in Vim? Say, replace colons with newlines? Here is an example: :%s/:/\r/g The above command would change the following text: foo:bar:baz:qux to the following text: foo bar baz qux #vim #unix #linux
