I'm using vim to edit files that use a programming language where the end of line is not marked with ;. This causes problems when I try to fix indentation in vim. If I put a ; at the end then vim is able to correctly fix the indentation, but since this programming language doesn't have a ; at the end of a statement the indentation isn't correct after vim tries to fix it. How can vim be modified so that it works correctly with this programming language?

What programming language? There's probably already a correct syntax file out there. If not, have a look at the Python vim file. Python doesn't use semicolons either. You may be able to cobble together a proper syntax file using that.

Here is a link to the python.vim script on the vim website.
