Algol68 - Synchronize syntax highlighting

[Janis Papanagnou]

Hi Doug!

I'm not sure you read the "vim_use" mailing list, so I want to point you
to a recent exchange in that group about the topic "Synchronize syntax
highlighting" (and specifically to my recent post where I raised a few
questions). - In short; I've encountered problems with the hard-coded
values of "syn sync minlines=250 maxlines=500" in the algol68.vim file.

I've encountered no problems any more with a change of the setting to
syn sync minlines=1000 maxlines=1000
Or - I'm not quite sure about the semantics! - should that rather be
syn sync minlines=1000 maxlines=2000
?

The hard limits are certainly insufficient and I'm unsure whether these
values shall be completely removed from or adjusted to higher values
in the algol68.vim syntax file.

With my local ~/.vim/syntax/algol68.vim my minlines/maxlines settings
in ~/.vimrc are obviously ineffective, as I noticed.

Thanks!

Regards,
Janis

I notice that the post mentioned below hasn't yet appeared.
(Is vim_use probably moderated?)
So stay tuned if you want to see the original discussion.
Thanks!
