\starttext
Hello! \ctxlua{context("does the parser work?")}
-- this should not be highlighted as a comment

Do other Vim users come into this? Is my syntax file outdated?

I was in touch with the maintainer of the context.vim syntax file about this. It turns out to be an issue with the lua.vim file that is included in the context one. Lua.vim highlights trailing parentheses as errors, but that’s done in a way that doesn’t work well when the file is included by other syntax files. It somehow steals the syntax context and makes Vim stay in Lua mode when it should go back to ConTeXt mode (I’m not too savvy of the details). The maintainer came up with a workaround [1] to force returning to ConTeXt mode, although the parenthesis remains highlighted as an error. That highlight bothers me, so my own workaround is to copy the lua.vim file in my own .vim/syntax folder and comment out the ‘syn match luaParenError ")"’ line (l.61 in my Vim version). Maybe playing with the ‘contained’ keyword (in lua.vim) could lead to a proper solution, but I’m happy enough with my workaround that I haven’t felt the need to investigate this issue any further.

Thanks for your effort! I have the same problem in Neovim and linked the pull request there: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/26966 Best, Gerion Am Montag, 8. Januar 2024, 12:16:14 CET schrieb Vincent Hennebert:
