+" Vim syntax file
+" Language: Modula 2
+" Maintainer: pf@artcom0.north.de (Peter Funk)
+" based on original work of Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
+" Last Change: 2001 May 09
+
+" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
+" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
+if version < 600
+ syntax clear
+elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
+ finish
+endif
+
+" Don't ignore case (Modula-2 is case significant). This is the default in vim
+
+" Especially emphasize headers of procedures and modules:
+syn region modula2Header matchgroup=modula2Header start="PROCEDURE " end="(" contains=modula2Ident oneline
+syn region modula2Header matchgroup=modula2Header start="MODULE " end=";" contains=modula2Ident oneline
+syn region modula2Header matchgroup=modula2Header start="BEGIN (\*" end="\*)" contains=modula2Ident oneline
+syn region modula2Header matchgroup=modula2Header start="END " end=";" contains=modula2Ident oneline
+syn region modula2Keyword start="END" end=";" contains=ALLBUT,modula2Ident oneline
+
+" Some very important keywords which should be emphasized more than others:
+syn keyword modula2AttKeyword CONST EXIT HALT RETURN TYPE VAR
+" All other keywords in alphabetical order:
+syn keyword modula2Keyword AND ARRAY BY CASE DEFINITION DIV DO ELSE
+syn keyword modula2Keyword ELSIF EXPORT FOR FROM IF IMPLEMENTATION IMPORT
+syn keyword modula2Keyword IN LOOP MOD NOT OF OR POINTER QUALIFIED RECORD
+syn keyword modula2Keyword SET THEN TO UNTIL WHILE WITH
+
+syn keyword modula2Type ADDRESS BITSET BOOLEAN CARDINAL CHAR INTEGER REAL WORD
+syn keyword modula2StdFunc ABS CAP CHR DEC EXCL INC INCL ORD SIZE TSIZE VAL
+syn keyword modula2StdConst FALSE NIL TRUE
+" The following may be discussed, since NEW and DISPOSE are some kind of
+" special builtin macro functions:
+syn keyword modula2StdFunc NEW DISPOSE
+" The following types are added later on and may be missing from older
+" Modula-2 Compilers (they are at least missing from the original report
+" by N.Wirth from March 1980 ;-) Highlighting should apply nevertheless:
+syn keyword modula2Type BYTE LONGCARD LONGINT LONGREAL PROC SHORTCARD SHORTINT
+" same note applies to min and max, which were also added later to m2:
+syn keyword modula2StdFunc MAX MIN
+" The underscore was originally disallowed in m2 ids, it was also added later:
+syn match modula2Ident " [A-Z,a-z][A-Z,a-z,0-9,_]*" contained
+
+" Comments may be nested in Modula-2:
+syn region modula2Comment start="(\*" end="\*)" contains=modula2Comment,modula2Todo
+syn keyword modula2Todo contained TODO FIXME XXX
+
+" Strings
+syn region modula2String start=+"+ end=+"+
+syn region modula2String start="'" end="'"
+syn region modula2Set start="{" end="}"
+
+" Define the default highlighting.
+" For version 5.7 and earlier: only when not done already
+" For version 5.8 and later: only when an item doesn't have highlighting yet
