Hi all, I'm slapping together a quick syntax highlighting plugin for LiveJournal's S2 code. S2 has a special type of string that is delimited by three quotes, which allows you to include quotes and double quotes in the string, unescaped. (This is useful for quote-heavy stuff like HTML.) It looks like this:
"""this is a "cool string" in which quotes - "" need not be escaped""" Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to fit this into my syntax highlighting. I guess my biggest problem is that I do not understand the canonical string region declaration; this one is from c.vim: syn region s2String start=+L\="+ skip=+\\\\\|\\"+ end=+"+ What in the world do those pluses mean? And that queue of backslashes? I don't understand how those specifications follow pattern syntax. So anyway, I just want to make it parse everything between triple quotes as a String. How do I do it?
