Right, my preference however would be to merge both syntax files and take the best of each. Like I said I noticed you only use the predefined colors which is very limited. (No bold or italic, no underline, some colors missing) And those do not make use of the capabailities for ctext and gui properly. I was hoping the default asciidoc syntax file could at least introduce those improvements as well. The colors to me are not that important as long as there is consistency. I aimed for using bright colors for content and less bright colors for metadata. I used yellow for monospace or literal, bold for bold, italic for italic and underline for underline. I also underline the non-underline title syntax as well as a definition lists, links and example/table titles. For links I also made sure that the visible part is yellow and the link information is purple. So that if there is no link title, the link is yellow. That way you have an idea how the text looks for real. I also put the document title in bold so it stands out from other titles. > 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. I'd rather not maintain it seperately.
