description

This syntax script will colorize UN/EDIFACT messages. All formatting errors are reported with the "Error" highlighting. Hooks are provided for extensibility (including EDIFACT messages in another syntax) and to define a more specific syntax (coloring known tags, checking segment definitions with mandatory/conditionnal data...). For more information about EDIFACT: - http://www.unece.org/trade/untdid/ - http://www.gefeg.com/jswg/index.htm

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
edifact.vim	2.0	2004-03-25	6.0	Olivier Mengué	Improved error reporting to ease editing: - unclosed segments - invalid text between segments - error stops at the next quote, which may be just before the beginning of a valid segment Renamed edifactStar  to edifactAsterisk, edifactQuote to edifactApostrophe to use the same terms as in the standards. Improved grammar with @edifactSegmentHook to plug more specific segment definition. Added 'keepend' to edifactSegment. Added sample parsing for TXT segment that checks data element lengths. Did tests of derived syntax reusing this syntax.
