Hi,

the context syntax file is rather outdated. I have never tinkered
with syntax files and I don't really have a clue how they work.
However, I managed to improve the existing one. I contacted the
maintainer Nikolai Weibull, but I didn't get a response. So I post
my improvements to this list.

The changes I made:

1) additional syntax languages in g:context_include.
2) support for all MetaPost environments, e.g. \startMPcode
3) support for Lua highlighting for MkIV
4) support for the gnuplot module
5) add C++ syntax highlighting (since C is there as well)
6) support for the MkIV start-stop structuring commands, e.g. \startsection
7) add more font switches
8) a fix, so that \startCSV is not recognised as C code

Unsolved problems which I couldn't fix myself:

- having the underscore correctly recognised, e.g. the following
  results in wrong syntax highlighting

  \unprotect
    \def\foo_bar{whatever}
    \def\foo@bar{whatever}
  \protect

  \starttexcode
    \def\foo_bar{whatever}
    \def\foo@bar{whatever}
  \stoptexcode

- correct commentstring in Lua code (e.g. in combination with Tim
  Pope's vim-commentary)

  \starttext
    \startluacode
      foo="bar"
    \stopluacode
  \stoptext

  Pressing gcc (with vim-commentary) while being on the line
  “foo="bar"” leads to

      %% foo="bar"

  instead of

      -- foo="bar"

- I have set commentstring to %%\ %s for ConTeXt in my .vimrc.
  Can this be set automatically?

Does someone have a solution for the three unsolved problems?
