Those are not using the "conf" filetype. These need a different syntax file. Perhaps there is an existing one that is close (there are so many). Do not confuse the filetype name with the file name extension. "xxx.conf" doesn't mean it's a "conf" filetype. -- >From "know your smileys": ;-0 Can't find shift key ,-9 Kann Umschalttaste nicht finden /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
