This seems another useful feature, and since you still only have a single item defining highlighting for a given highlighted item in the text, this change shouldn't need any additions to the behavior synIDattr or synIDtrans. Unlike this, the :syntax combine change allows (if I understand correctly) potentially any number of items in the syntax stack to define highlighting for a single highlighted item in the text. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
