" Acknowledgements: This script was originally created by Kresimir Marzic [1].
" The script was then revamped by Csaba Hoch [2]. During the revamp, the new
" highlighting style and some code was taken from the Erlang syntax script
" that is part of vimerl [3], created by Oscar Hellström [4] and improved by
" Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez [5].

" Customization:
"
" To use the old highlighting style, add this to your .vimrc:
"
"     let g:erlang_old_style_highlight = 1
"
" To highlight further module attributes, add them to
" ~/.vim/after/syntax/erlang.vim:
"
"     syn keyword erlangAttribute myattr1 myattr2 contained

" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
if version < 600
