Dear Vim Wizards,
I've a text which is tagged with an XML/HTML like syntax, like this:
Lorem ipsum <A> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing </A> elit, sed
<B> do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut
enim ad minim veniam, quis </B> nostrud exercitation ullamco <D>
laboris nisi ut aliquip <E> ex ea </E> commodo consequat. Duis aute </
D> irure dolor in reprehenderit ...
Now I want vim to highlight the text between <A> and </A> with red,
<B> and </B> with yellow, <D> and </D> with blue and between <E> and </
E> with green.
Adriaan,
Before writing your own, you might have a look at the following plugin:
Txtfmt (The Vim Highlighter)
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208
Txtfmt will give you the highlight regions you mentioned and a lot more:
e.g., up to 8 foreground and 8 background colors (independently
configurable), and all combinations of bold, underline and italic.
(There's also a configuration that supports standout, reverse and
undercurl, but it's currently mutually exclusive with use of background
colors). Moreover, each of the "tags" used by Txtfmt are only a single
character wide, are hidden by the syntax (for mostly WYSIWYG
highlighting), and can be inserted with very intuitive mappings.
Hope it helps...

How would I go about writing a script and/or a syntax file for this?
I've read a little bit around, but I just can't figure this one out.
Thanks in advance!
Adriaan.
