Apologies for the confusion, I communicated with Felix back in April and omitted to cc the mailing list -- the plan was that Felix would put a note on vim.org marking his original script as obsolete.

I've tried your syntax file -- it works well! As for the colors that I implemented, I aimed for consistency (titles magenta, monospace text cyan, attributes red ...) and I just choose the set of colors that appealed to me most -- but since we all perceive colors differently it certainly won't appeal to everyone. I've put a link on the 'Vim Syntax Highlighter' section of the AsciiDoc home page to your project, and in the next release's User Guide. > > -- dag wieers, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- > [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] > > _______________________________________________ > Asciidoc-discuss mailing list > Asciidoc-discuss@metaperl.com > http://metaperl.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asciidoc-discuss > Cheers, Stuart -------- Original Message --------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: [asciidoc-discuss] vim syntax file - upload on vim.org Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2007 09:10:17 +1200 From: Stuart Rackham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Felix Obenhuber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Felix Felix Obenhuber wrote: > Hi Stuart, > >> Your syntax file inspired me to implement all the asciidoc syntactic >> elements, you can download it from: >> >> http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/asciidoc.vim >> >> It hasn't been tested extensively but seems to work OK on all my >> AsciiDoc source files.

I am working on the next AsciiDoc release (hopefully in about a week) and plan to ship a release version of the syntax files as part of the new release. I'll only delete them once the new release comes out. Thanks so much for your implementation -- without your script I would not have been motivated to write (or even thought of writing) the full set of syntax rules. It's more useful than I first thought (I've already spotted a couple of syntax errors in files I had previously missed). > > cheers, > > Felix Cheers, Stuart ---------- End of original message ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Asciidoc-discuss mailing list Asciidoc-discuss@metaperl.com http://metaperl.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asciidoc-discuss
