Hi all,
I'm trying to create a syntax for my own mine.vim.
I always highlight [words between square brackets in one line] in red.
What if the mentioned square brackets are nested like ...
[words [inside another brackets]]?
I got red color only the first 3 [, [ and ].
But the color for the last one (]) is still white.
The relevant lines of mine.vim are as followings.
% grep mineRed ~/.vim/syntax/mine.vim
syn region mineRed start=+\[+ skip=+\\\\\|\\'+ end=+\]+ oneline
hi def link mineRed SpecialChar
Actually I don't know much about vim syntax highlighting.
I copied these commands from somewhere else (mostly help.vim).
And I then modified it to suit my needs.
Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
" add a contains argument:
syn clear
syn region mineRed start=+\[+ skip=+\\\\\|\\'+ end=+]+ oneline
contains=mineRed
hi link mineRed SpecialChar
" the skip argument seems useless, you may want to use it to escape a closing
']' (?):
syn clear
syn region mineRed start=+\[+ skip=+\\[\\\]]+ end=+]+ oneline
contains=mineRed
hi link mineRed SpecialChar
(syn clear and hi link only added for demo purposes)
