Benjamin R. Haskell: > Your example worked for me if I first cleared syntax:
In fact, it was working when the buffer's file type was not defined. > If you want them to work for all filetypes, you'll have to do something more > drastic. My first thought is the following -- try putting them in an > autocmd that runs before filetype-detection: It will not work because the 'contained' rules require a 'contains' counterpart. It means one has to examine the existing highlight groups and append custom elements to its 'contains' attribute. What I ended up doing was: - Create a '_global.vim' file in '~/.vim/after/syntax/'. - Create symlinks to this file for each relevant file types.
