Hi vimmers, I've got some question when writing my syntax highlight
script.
Q1.
The language requires a ^M character as a keyword. The ^M character is
by
default highlighted but I want to highlight it to some other color, at
least it should be different from ^L and ^N...
It seems impossible to match the ^M by
:syn match Testgroup "^M"
(Note the ^M is obtained by press C-K, release, then press C-M,
release,
then press <Enter>)
When using double quotes, you can match "\r" instead, but beware: ^M is
the
carriage-return character, which has special meaning on Mac (where is is
the
end-of-line character) and on Dos/Windows (where it, plus ^J [line feed]
together make an and-of-line). In general, using any character below0x20
as a
"text" character is a bad choice.
The fact is that the script language requires the source be in Unix format
on all platforms, so there should not be problem using ^M. (AFAIK Mac is
using FreeBSD kernel, isn't FreeBSD using Unix format?)
However, your solution does not seem to work. Changing "^M" to "\r" does
not get it highlighted correctly.

Maybe you should add some "containedin" keyword to that Testgroup definition.
But let's wait until someone else replies, I don't know the ins and outs of
syntax scripts very well.
Best regards,
Tony.
