New issue 51 by [email protected]: CSS Syntax structure incompatible with
extended syntaxes (eg less)
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=51
The LESS dynamic stylesheet language extends CSS syntax.
A syntax file has been created for LESS -
https://github.com/groenewege/vim-less that loads the standard CSS syntax,
and then adds less specific constructs.
However, the way that css.vim is structured creates an incompatibility.
Because "font" is both a valid HTML tag, and the prefix to several valid
css properties (font-family, font-size, etc), less.vim has an ambiguity and
matches "font-size" as a tag followed by raw text, rather than a css
property.
I can't determine any way to fix this in the less.vim syntax, I believe it
needs to be done in css.vim
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install less.vim from here : https://github.com/groenewege/vim-less
2. Create a vim buffer with
BODY
{
font-size: 10pt;
}
3. Turn syntax highlighting on.
4. Set the filetype to 'css' - "font-size" will match as a CSS property
5. Set the filetype to 'less' - "font-size" will not as a CSS property,
but "font" will match as a tag
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When the syntax is set to less, font-size should be a CSS property.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
7.3(53) - MacVim
But the problem exists in mercurial tip
Please provide any additional information below.
A patch is supplied to change css.vim so that the "font" tag will match a
whole-word only.
This then creates the correct result in less.vim.
I don't think this problem can be resolved directly in less.vim
It appears that the css.vim maintainer is no longer active - the version of
css.vim from his website is quite old, and the vim repo has started to
include changes from other places (e.g.
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=6)
