runtime/syntax/rhelp.vim

" Vim syntax file
" Language:    R Help File
" Maintainer:  Johannes Ranke <jranke@uni-bremen.de>
" Last Change: 2006 Apr 05
" Version:     0.5
" Remarks:     - Now includes R syntax highlighting in the appropriate
"                sections if an r.vim file is in the same directory or in the
"                default debian location.
"              - I didn't yet include any special markup for S4 methods.
"              - The two versions of \item{}{} markup are not 
"                distinguished (in the \arguments{} environment, the items to
"                be described are R identifiers, but not in the \describe{}
"                environment).
"              - There is no Latex markup in equations

" Version Clears: {{{1
" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
" For version 6.x and 7.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
if version < 600
