Ah, I see what you mean now. I have an after/syntax help.vim file in my .vim
that adds three extra highlighting classes:
syn match helpIgnoreBold "#[a-zA-Z0-9&()\`\'\"\-\+\*=\[\]\{\}\.,;: ]\+#"
contains=helpMatchBold
syn match helpMatchBold "[a-zA-Z0-9&()\`\'\"\-\+\*=\[\]\{\}\.,;: ]\+"
contained
syn match helpIgnoreEmph "@[a-zA-Z0-9&()\`\'\"\-\+\*=\[\]\{\}\.,;: ]\+@"
contains=helpMatchEmph
syn match helpMatchEmph "[a-zA-Z0-9&()\`\'\"\-\+\*=\[\]\{\}\.,;: ]\+"
contained
" this match is the same as in CRefVim's help.vim (that is, uses $$):
" the idea is to keep some degree of portability.
syn match helpIgnoreCode
"\$[a-za-z...@\\\*/\._=()\-+%<>&\^|!~\?:,\[\];{}#\`\'\" ]\+\$"
contains=helpMatchCode
syn match helpMatchCode "[a-za-z...@\\\*/\._=()\-+%<>&\^|!~\?:,\[\];{}#\`\'\"
]\+" contained
" syn high links
hi def link helpIgnoreBold Ignore
hi def link helpIgnoreEmph Ignore
hi def link helpIgnoreCode Ignore
hi def link helpMatchBold Function
hi def link helpMatchEmph Special
hi def link helpMatchCode Comment
I've adapted these extensions from CRefVim for luarefvim long time ago, and
ended up taking them for granted.

I'll rewrite the helpfile to remove the extra unconventional highlights. On
the other hand, having the extra classes could be really useful for language
oriented helpfiles (especially the "code" class.)
Cheers,
