vim-syntax-highlighting

In vim, I am editing a file of filetype "markdown", but which contains latex math expressions such as $x_i$. Vim's syntax highlighting for markdown thinks the pattern *_* (letter-underscore-letter) is an error, and highlights the underscore in such patterns bright red. I would like to turn this off by adding a line to my .vimrc: autocmd BufEnter *.Rmd "Dear vim, please don't highlight the pattern *_*" What is the appropriate command to do that? Is it possible at all to do that in .vimrc, without editing a syntax file? Note: I want to keep the markdown syntax highlighting in general, only turn

I write documentation in markdown using ViM and I also put math using the latex $$ symbol (I compile using pandoc). The thing is that ViM syntax wouldn't ignore the underscores _ inside the dollar symbols and it is pretty annoying. For instance if I write this: $$ a_1 = 0 $$ Then Vim will highlight all the following text as italics due to to the underscore used. How can I change that? Also it would be nice if I could highlight what's inside $ with a different format. I have put these lines in my .vimrc. It works for inline math on the same line and block-mode math. " This gets rid of the nasty

I want to non ascii characters to show as discussed here , but the syntax highlight disappears when the non ascii character are inside a comment. Investigating a little the problem, I've discovered at the vim-manual that an item that starts earlier has higher priority (3rd item). From help :syn-priority : When several syntax items may match, these rules are used: When multiple Match or Region items start in the same position, the item defined last has priority. A Keyword has priority over Match and Region items. An item that starts in an earlier position has priority over items that start in

I'm trying to built a lighter syntax file for reStructuredText in Vim. In rst, literal blocks start when "::" is encountered at the end of a line: I'll show you some code:: if foo = bar then do_something() end Literal blocks end when indentation level is lowered. But, literal blocks can be inside other structures that are indented but not literal: .. important:: Some code for you inside this ".. important" directive:: Code comes here Back to normal text, but it is indented with respect to ".. important". So, the problem is: how to make a region that detects the indentation? I did that with the

I just downloaded a Vim plugin for Sass syntax highlight. The instructions say: install details put it into syntax directory and add sass filetype au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.sass setfiletype sass in your filetype.vim I already placed sass.vim in vimfiles/syntax/ (using windows). And created a filetype.vim file with the code above ( au! Buf... ) in all the following directories: vimfiles/ vimfiles/ftdetect vimfiles/ftplugins but no one worked (I even typed the au! Buf... code in my vimrc).
