Yes, with the conceal feature, which was introduced by the 7.3 release: |cchar :syn-cchar | |The "cchar" argument defines the character shown in place of the item |when it is concealed (setting "cchar" only makes sense when the conceal |argument is given.) If "cchar" is not set then the default conceal |character defined in the 'listchars' option is used. Example: > | :syntax match Entity "&" conceal cchar=& |See hl-Conceal for highlighting. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
