It doesn't always mark it as an error; I can get it to appear normally, e.g. if I type 3 * 4 with a large indent. But I don't know COBOL, so I can't tell if what it's doing is right or wrong. Perhaps you could post some example code where the highlighting is wrong and explain why, and then we can help with the syntax file? The person listed as the maintainer of the syntax file may also be worth contacting. Ben. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
