Here are some pointers to the vim documentation. Notice that the mechanism is different in vim 6.0 and vim 5.x.
1. I want *.foo files to be highlighted like HTML files.
:help new-filetype https://www.vim8.org/html/autocmd.html#new-filetype
2. I want to define a syntax file for *.bar files. Read the above and also
:help mysyntaxfile https://www.vim8.org/html/syntax.html#mysyntaxfile
3. I want to make a few changes to the existing syntax highlighting. Depending on the x in 5.x, either read the above and page down a few screens, or you may be able to skip right to
:help mysyntaxfile-add https://www.vim8.org/html/syntax.html#mysyntaxfile-add
4. I want to change some of the colors from their defaults. Again, read
:help mysyntaxfile https://www.vim8.org/html/syntax.html#mysyntaxfile
<< Vim xterm title |
color highlighting on telnet (esp w/ SecureCRT) >>
