Is it possible to create a keyword group and then do a match with
those words and if they are prefixed with a "-" to color them a
certain way? A couple of the actual ones would be:
-command
-menu
-fill
-pady
-padx
-tearoff
-label
-text
-height
-width
-justify
and the list goes on. And you can see why I was hoping a simple match
would do it. :-)
You can get the effect I think you want with:
syn match OptionMatcher "\%(^\|\s\)\zs-\w\+"
contains=SpecificOptionList,OptionStarter
syn keyword SpecificOptionList contained command menu fill pady padx
tearoff label text height width justify
syn match OptionStarter contained "-"
hi link OptionMatcher Error
hi link SpecificOptionList Statement
hi link OptionStarter SpecificOptionList
These commands will highlight your options; ones that aren't in the
keyword list (ex. -junk) would get highlighted as Error.
Well that kind of worked. Every word that start with "-" is highlighted
as an "Error", including those in the "SpecificOptionList".
