doublequote as string begin char

[dragg]

How can I make doublequote (") a stringbegin and stringend character
inside .syntax file? Nothing works so far (like """).

Don't know the answer, but, have you tried

'"'

You have to escape it with a '\' char as in
stringbegin = "\""
stringend = "\""

the other char that needs escape is '\' itself as in
stringescape = "\\"
so in C it will properly highlight a string as"abc\"def"
