Thanks for the pointer to patterns. That helped a lot! OK so this is what
I ended up with here.
syntax match adgAST /AdaptiveStrategyType/ nextgroup=adgASTEnum skipwhite
syntax match adgASTEnum /Default\|NONE\|Refine_fixed_fraction/ contained
Once I read about patterns a little more I also got the slashes / escaped
properly and I also got the spaces taken care of.
There are still a couple of things that I want to do. If the user places
something that is _not_ in the pattern branch (an error situation) I would
like to highlight the error red.
Also, I still don't understand the omni-complete with the syntax file. I
do
setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
but it doesn't find any completions. What else do I need to do?
Thanks,
Karl
