I must admit that for someone who's just joined the list you seem pretty arrogant. First of all you are talking to people who sacrifice their precious time to help you. And you neither bothered to prepare an easily reproducible test case, nor to explain clearly what your problem was (have a look here: http://llorens.visualserver.org/vim.png). Here's your answer: #v+ syn region fooString start=+"+ end=+"+ syn sync match fooSync grouphere fooString /^foo\>/ hi def link fooString String #v- Good luck with getting further help! You might need it. -- Cheers, Lech -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
