Hi!

I'm doing a syntax file for my own silly made up filetype. The first
line of a file is always tag-section and I want to highlight it. There
is no special pattern for searching by regexp --- the aim is to
highlight the first line ALWAYS.

For example, in this context:

        Blah-blah

        foo, bar,
        one, two, three.

only "Blah-blah" must be captured for highlighting with `hi def` later.

Could I use `syn region` for that purpose and how? If not what're other
ways to do that?

Hope the attached file helps. It uses syn match with a pattern using \%1l .

Regards,
Chip Campbell
