I thought that you cannot use "matchgroup" with the same group as
the region group. That is, that the only use of matchgroup was to
have a region highlighted the region color and the separators
highlighted in a *different* color. I didn't carry a test for this!
Moreover, I considered that if you used the same group both for the
region and for "matchgroup", you will end up with the entire region
highlighted with the group color: the text withing the region because
you issued a "syntax region Group" and the separators because you did
the "matchgroup" thing. So, I didn't even consider that the *inside* of
the region won't be colored at all.
This is for sure my fault, I misunderstood this because I didn't
noticed this paragraph:
In a start or end pattern that is highlighted with "matchgroup" the
contained items of the region are not used. This can be used to avoid
that a contained item matches in the start or end pattern match. When
using "transparent", this does not apply to a start or end pattern
match that is highlighted with "matchgroup".
Sorry for the inconvenience, I really thought I had read all the
relevant help for this issue, I'm embarrased O:))))
Thanks a lot, Andy, for your kind answer with the solution :)
