I think it's best to make an item helpGraphic. Like with helpHeader it
can be recognized by a special character at the end of the line. A
backtick perhaps?
syn match helpGraphic ".* \ze`$" nextgroup=helpIgnore
I made the change for the two places you mention. Any others?
There was one place where a backtick would disappear, I removed the
space before it.
