I think the following tip from the Vim tips wiki describes how to do
what you want.
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Different_syntax_highlighting_within_regions_of_a_file
If you want to highlight the plain text (non-code) within your file with
arbitrary formats and colors (i.e., like rtf highlighting), you could
use the Txtfmt plugin.
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208
Here's a quick example of how I included C++ and Txtfmt regions within
the same file.
--- inside snip.vim ---
:syntax on
:syntax include @CPP syntax/cpp.vim
:syntax region cppSnip matchgroup=Snip start="@begin=cpp@"
end="@end=cpp@" contai...@cpp
:hi link Snip SpecialComment
:syntax include @TXTFMT syntax/txtfmt.vim
:syntax include ftplugin/txtfmt.vim
:syntax region txtfmtSnip matchgroup=Snip start="@begin=txtfmt@"
end="@end=txtfmt@" contai...@txtfmt
:hi link Snip SpecialComment
--- inside snip.txt ---
@begin=cpp@
... C++ code here...
@end=cpp@
@begin=txtfmt@
...Plain text highlighted with Txtfmt here...
@end=txtfmt@
Note that you have to source snip.vim from within snip.txt. You can do
so manually...
:so snip.vim
...but a better approach might be to use an autocommand: e.g., something
like...
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.snip runtime syntax/snip.vim
