Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +00001" Vim syntax file
2" Language: Perl POD format
3" Maintainer: Scott Bigham <dsb@cs.duke.edu>
4" Last Change: 2001 May 09
5
6" To add embedded POD documentation highlighting to your syntax file, add
7" the commands:
8"
9" syn include @Pod <sfile>:p:h/pod.vim
10" syn region myPOD start="^=pod" start="^=head" end="^=cut" keepend contained contains=@Pod
11"
12" and add myPod to the contains= list of some existing region, probably a
13" comment. The "keepend" flag is needed because "=cut" is matched as a
14" pattern in its own right.
15
16
17" Remove any old syntax stuff hanging around (this is suppressed
18" automatically by ":syn include" if necessary).
19" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
20" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
21if version < 600
22 syntax clear
23elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
24 finish

38" Text of a =head1, =head2 or =item command
39syn match podCmdText ".*$" contained contains=podFormat
40
41" Indent amount of =over command
42syn match podOverIndent "\d\+" contained

54" Special formatting sequences
55syn region podFormat start="[IBSCLFXEZ]<" end=">" oneline contains=podFormat
