Hi all.

I'm facing small problems regarding highlight of regions between XML
tags.  docbk.vim (that includes xml.vim) syntax file works almost fine
with DocBook tags, like those:

    <title>bla</title>
    <emphasis>foo</emphasis>

But, those only work when the highlighted text and the tags (that define
the region) are in the same line.  So, the following doesn't work:

    <title>
      bla
    </title>

    <emphasis>
      foo
    </emphasis>

So, since I would like to highlight text between for tag <foo>, I wrote
my own rules:

    syn region myFoo start='<foo>' end='</foo>' skipwhite keepend
    hi! def link myFoo Constant

These works for text between <foo> and </foo>, but it also highlights
the tags.  I thought using offsets (ms=s+1 and me=s-1), but
fantastically it doesn't work (it colors the whole region, including the
tags or none of it).  After commenting some code in Vim's xml.vim, I
discovered that commenting tag definition at line 196 made it work.

Is it possible, in syntax definitions, to make a string not match a
rule, even if it would match according to regular expressions previously
defined?

Thanks in advance.
