Hello,

the vim-syntax highlighting seems not to know
the "Quoted strings" (RefmMan 7.24).

The following phrase breaks the syntax-highlighting at the '"'-symbol:

   Buffer.add_string buffer {|label("|};

Is this a known problem, that maybe will be fixed soon?

Or are vim-syntax-experts here who can add this to the
list of TODO's?

Ciao,
    Oliver

P.S.: This workaround works:
   Buffer.add_string buffer {|label("|};(*"*)

It works for vim-highlighting, but it the compiler does not eat it.

"Error: This comment contains an unterminated string literal"

Maybe tweaking errors/wrnings can help here at least...


Ciao,
    Oliver

This one does it:

   Buffer.add_string buffer {|label("|};(*{|"|}*)


But a solution in the vim-syntax-highlighting would be better, of course...

Ciao,
    Oliver

It's a known issue, but I'm currently too busy to do anything about
it.  Please feel free to implement a solution, and I'll add it to the
Vim-syntax file for OCaml.

Regards,
Markus

this does the trick:

	syn region ocamlString start="{\z\([a-z_]*\)|" end="|\z1}"

for a more complete addition (i put spellchecking because it was already
set for "" string litterals, not sure if appropriate):

	syn region ocamlString matchgroup=ocamlLabel start="{\z\([a-z_]*\)|"
end="|\z1}" contains=@Spell

or, even neater:

	syn region ocamlString matchgroup=ocamlQuotedStringDelim
start="{\z\([a-z_]*\)|" end="|\z1}" contains=@Spell

with that line in the appropriate place of the syntax file:

	HiLink ocamlQuotedStringDelim Identifier

this has to be implemented in utop too…

Thanks, Glen, I've added your last proposal to the OCaml syntax file.
Once in a while I submit it for inclusion in Vim.

Regards,
Markus
