That didn't work, but this did: if ! exists( "autocmds_loaded" ) let autocmds_loaded = 1 autocmd BufEnter * source <sfile> endif if has( 'conceal' ) " How can I use variables for the patterns? "syntax region myTimeStamp start="__TS:" end="|" conceal syntax match myTimeStamp "__TS:.*|" conceal highlight myTimeStamp ctermfg=red ctermbg=blue set conceallevel=2 endif Thank you. My remaining problems are how to use a variable in the match (or region, I'm not sure which is better) and how to make the syntax work in commented sections. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
