I do note that the VIM syntax highlighting routine is pretty poor and has difficulties around $, which is a symbol that I like using (unpaired) quite a lot in MetaPost (\startMPcode...\stopMPcode).

The stock vim context syntax highlighting ist terrible, indeed. I modified the syntax files, the result is still terrible (and reflect my personal context writing style instead of being general), but for me they're better than the original ones. Then I contacted Nikolai with the patches a while ago. He told me that he's not maintaining the syntax files any longer and if I want to take over maintainership. I declined because I know I wouldn't have much time at my disposal the next months.

context --extra=listing --scite --compact yoursource.tex

gives the kind of highlighting that I use here (mixed tex / mp / lua mode)

During the last ConTeXt meeting, we held a workshop on Hans' scite setup. It turns out that it depends on a Lua parsing library available on Windows that we did not succeed in compiling/porting to other systems. OK, we did not try too hard...

You could try my syntax files for context:

It is fairly rudimentary (compared to the syntax files for latex), but I do get correct syntax highlighting inside metapost and lua environments.

Thank you. This surely must work better than what is shipped with vim. Alan
