thanks for the reply Kent. I thought it would not be simple. I have not messed with these files before and the syntax looks intimidating!

I have looked at the vim.vim syntax file, and as you said the vimCommentTitle is declared, however the sh.vim has nothing like that. The closest is shComment. I will look at the vim syntax file for help on adding a file of my own.
This is not a bug in vim, I like my files to look the same if possible.

Thanks

I have MacVim 7.3 and while editing my .vimrc and various bash scripts I noticed the coloring in the commented areas are different in a 'vim' file and a ba[sh] script. In a header most put in the comments something like
this:

File:
Last Modified:
Maintainer:
Description:
Created:
Author:
etc
etc

In a 'vim' and 'ba[sh]' file they are preceded by comment markers " or #. In a vim file the above words are in a different color and are tied to the syntax color vimCommentTitle in the vim.vim syntax file. In the bash file sh.vim the group or ??? that is similar is shComment. I found nothing like vims commentTitle description. My question is I think, is this a matter of copy/paste between vim.vim and sh.vim the code that highlights the area
above or is it more complex than that?


vimCommentTitle links to PreProc highlighting element. (see :hi vimCommentTitle)

You can steal the syntax elements from another filetype, but I'd
rather place these modifications to .vim/after/syntax/<filetype>.vim
instead of modifying standard syntax files shipped with vim.
