Actually, yes, there is. Wait for me to get a new version sent upstream
to the Vim 7 CVS, add the following to your vimrc, and cheer:
let g:context_spacious_comments = 1
This will make it so that comments must be at the beginning of the line
or be preceded by a white-space,

Hm, probably not. The problem with TeX is that it's so goddam flexible
when it comes to syntax. The whole deal with turning $ on and off, %
into something else, and so on is really hard to capture in a syntax
highlighter. To do so successfully, the highlighter would more or less
have to parse the TeX document itself to understand when and where to do
what. I guess special cases like the one above (with a very weird URL
indeed) so that \useURL would be parsed differently, but it's impossible
to always get these things right,

That's great! I didn't know that. Some time ago some people were asking about ConTeXt support for vim, but I don't remember any responses. I like the [EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax and there are much more highlights in your code. Quite some pieces of code can still be added of course, but writing a good syntax highlighting scheme may become almost as is almost as tricky as writing a compiler for it :) \title, \subject, ... can be added Maybe some more extensive support for math as well ... It doesn't use the rather bloated LaTeX/Plain TeX syntax definition, but my own blend, Probably the opinions on what bloated means differ at that point. I find it very useful if wrong brackets or any other suspicious code is marked as an error before the compiler has to tell me that (and for an unexperienced user it is very difficult to find such a mistake from compiler messages). I'm very glad that your code got rid of LaTeX commands, but I find it great if we keep extending the code. Moreover, I even wanted to have command-specific code highlighting. ConTeXt has a big advantage over LaTeX: the central development. So theoretically it would be possible to highlight any known command different as the unknown (user-defined or misspelled) ones. PostScript syntax highlighting script in vim does exactly that for example. I wanted to suggest to make a cont-en.vim (cont-nl.vim, ..., maybe also tex-plain.vim) file with all the known ConTeXt commands. I don't know vim that well. I can imagine that this would cause some problems on slower machines, but including it would only be left as an option.

Re: [NTG-context] TeX + Metapost syntax highlighting in Vim
Mojca,
just wonderful to see that there's another ConTeXt user who likes
vim! Though I'm basically an emacs person, there are some editing
tasks I like to do with vim - the line numbering alone is wonderful,
there is no equivalent in emacs (and I've tried quite a lot of
things!). So cheers to you. So far, I've basically been working with
vim-latex, gnashing my teeth from time to time (oh the way they
hijacked the alt key!). I've just added support for typesetting with
texexec by adding this line to texrc:
TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_cont = 'texexec --pdf --nonstopmode $*'
But I for one would be extremely happy if someone more knowledgeable
would add proper ConTeXt support to vim the way Berend and Patrick
added ConTeXt support to AucTeX!
Best
