In `:h :syn-sync-maxlines` at the end of the section the following example is
given:
:syntax sync ccomment maxlines=500
. This example is not correct and does not do what you expect: it is
interpreted as syntax_sync(ccomment="maxlines=500"), not as
syntax_sync(ccomment=default, maxlines=500). You can verify this by doing in
different buffers
a)
:syntax sync ccomment maxlines=500
:syntax sync
" outputs “syncing on C-style comments
b)
:syntax sync ccomment
:syntax sync maxlines=500
:syntax sync
" outputs “syncing on C-style comments; maximal 500 lines before top line”
. To fix this order should be reversed:
:syntax sync maxlines=500 ccomment
:syntax sync
" outputs “syncing on C-style comments; maximal 500 lines before top line”
// Note: according to the help
//
// > The name for a highlight or syntax group must consist of ASCII letters,
digits
// > and the underscore. As a regexp: "[a-zA-Z0-9_]*"
//
// , but this is not enforced at least in :syn or :hi. At maximum you will
receive W18 warning.
