Yeah, concealends is for the syntax region construct, not for the syntax match construct. I admit I didn't look carefully at the implementation, just the description of what you want. Now that I'm looking, I'm not sure why it didn't work as you had it. I'd try something like this to debug what is actually matching at each location: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Identify_the_syntax_highlighting_group_used_at_the_cursor That said, in this case, a syn-region will probably do what you want, and do it easier. But maybe not. Your current pattern will match: text preceded by « ...with one character which is not » ...followed by any characters at all (including newline), as few as possible ...until it sees a » as the next character In other words, it will match things like: «abc» «a bc» «a » but not: «» « » « bc» -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
