" Remarks:     - Includes R syntax highlighting in the appropriate
"                sections if an r.vim file is in the same directory or in the
"                default debian location.
"              - There is no Latex markup in equations
"              - Thanks to Will Gray for finding and fixing a bug
"              - No support for \if, \ifelse and \out as I don't understand
"                them and have no examples at hand (help welcome).
"              - No support for \var tag within quoted string (dito)

" 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 
  syntax clear
elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
  finish
endif
