Re: C++ Syntax highlighting for Identifier, Statement
This might be possible using a tags file, which already gathers all the class, variable, function, etc names (and their locations). Maybe a command (or autocommand) to create syntax objects based on a tags file would do the trick? I don't know how to do this, but maybe someone else on the list can suggest a way. -Dmitriy On 1/14/07, Andy Wokula [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Matt England schrieb: I'm trying to get function names, class names, objects, variables and similar things to appear as non-white text with 'syntax on'.

Thanks for any help, -Matt Dispersed Storage: http://cleversafe.org Syntax highlighting should work out of the box without the need to add coloring statements in the vimrc. However, it works only if activated: 1) Vim must be compiled with +autocmd (i.e. has(autocmd) must have a nonzero value, usually 1). This means a Normal, Big or Huge build. 2) Filetype detection and syntax highlighting must be enabled in the vimrc: -- Method I (recommended) runtime vimrc_example.vim Place the above near the top of your vimrc, after :set nocompatible and/or a :language command if you use them, but before anything else. -- Method II filetype plugin on syntax on Once colouring works (i.e. once various parts of your editfiles are displayed in various colours), if you want to _change_ the colours, the canonical way to do it is via a colorscheme (see :help :colorscheme). A number of colorschemes are distributed with Vim, some more are available as scripts on the vim-online site http://vim.sourceforge.net/ -- and of course it is possible to write one's own.
