[Holger, I am forwarding your mail to Markus, the author of ocaml.vim]
[Markus, this is a bug report we got in the OCaml bug database]

Full_Name: Holger Dell
Version: OCaml-3.07p2
OS: Windows/Cygwin (sorry)
Submission from: p508ae11c.dip.t-dialin.net (80.138.225.28)

Hi,
I am using Vim 6.2 and got a problem with the file
http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/~markus/ocaml_sources/ocaml.vim
(link can be found at http://www.ocaml.org).

the syntax highlighting doesn't work correctly.
if you have the following code:

let xs = [1; 2; 3] in
let f x = false in
let x = List.for_all f xs
and b = "foo"

the syntax-highlighting thinks "for" is the beginning of a "for"-loop, so the
syntax highlighting after that point doesn't work correctly.
and i think that's because the vim-script treats "_" like a whitespace, and
that
is obviously incorrect.

the problem is not only with "for", it also happens with "begin" or "open" as
well.
it's not a serios bug, but it is annoying, please fix that.

thank you.

This is not a bug in OCaml proper. Forwarded to Markus. -DD 2004-01-14

Hi Damien and Holger,

I have tried the code below with Vim-version 6.2.149, and it doesn't
cause any problems with highlighting. Maybe it's just a misconfiguration
of your editor?

You may have to set the variable "iskeyword" to include the underscore
character in keywords.

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Sorry, my mistake.
I'm doing literate programming, so I'm using noweb together with OCaml.
Someone has written a vim-script to syntax highlight all the code; in
those noweb-environments ocaml-highlighting and elsewhere
TeX-highlighting. Obviously this script is not working correctly.

I tried a normal .ml-file and got no error.

thank you and sorry,

holger
