description

tcl.vim (syntax)     An updated and complete syntax coloring scheme for tcl. Uses the 12 syntax rules of tcl as a starting point. ADDITIONS/CORRECTIONS:          Line Continues can be optionally highlighted as Warnings.     [set set set] does the right thing.     [set ^canvas [canvas create ...]] does the right thing.     For [list ...], the subsequent expression is lit like a normal command. Also for [uplevel xx ...].     The improved interaction of comments with line continuation and braces based on user feedback. FEATURES:     Handles a wide variety of escaped expressions correctly.     Multi-line comments following a semi-colon.     Spell checking (when spell is enabled) for strings and comments.     8.5 syntax: apply, chan, dict, lassign, lrepeat, unload, {expand} and {*} and the new math expressions, all the new words.     Added error state to line continues that have trailing spaces, these are errors in a tcl script and now they are immediately visible. (thank you Ilya).     "if {0} {}" multi-line commenting idiom.     Smart syntax folding for procs, namespaces, and several itcl constructs - only folds the outer braces     Nested parens brackets braces and quotes.     Primary commands, secondary commands, and options.     Highlights implicit expressions, such as the first group after an 'if' statement, or the second group after a 'for' statement.     Colors expressions and math keyworks; but only inside expressions.     Easily extended to include other packages.     Current Extensions:         snit (vimscript #1715)         sqlite (vimscript #1716)         itcl (vimscript #1765)         togl (vimscript #1766)         critcl (vimscript #1775)     Highlight options to adjust the level of coloring. (default is most 'colorful').
