But when you need to copy and visualize the code some where else.. the copy does not actually copy the formatting along with it. Vim has a menu option of converting the code into html syntax. Syntax -> Convert to HTML. This looks cool, but if you have some bunch of files and you have to convert them to html.. The savior is writing some script to automate this The tag that does HTML conversion is this: :.,$TOhtml Now you can automate this: Write this in a vim script. Lets name it as "test.vim" zR :set autochdir :.,$TOhtml  :wqa How to run over a file: vim -s test.vim test.sv  Now this will generate test.sv.html file in the file directory.

How to launch the verdi with coverage. $> verdi -cov -covdir <PATH_TO_TB>.simv.vdb -covdir <PATH_TO_TEST1>.simv.vdb -covdir <PATH_TO_TEST2>.simv.vdb...  You can pass multiple covdirs, where in all the results will be merged.
