Vim syntax

[lars_the_bear]

Hi folks

I've noticed that after installing the Gentoo syntax extension for Vim, Vim shows lines beginning with spaces with a red background, as if to indicate some kind of error. This seems to happen with .ebuild files, and files in /etc/init.d. I'm not sure about other files, but I know that my source code is generally note affected.

If this is intentional (and I can't see why it should be, since spaces are fine there) is there a way to turn off the Gentoo syntax highlighting, without breaking anything?

BR, Lars.

I'm currrently not sure about the colors and if it is correct but this package does provide the plugin: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-vim/gentoo-syntax
The wiki has more information about plugins and syntax highlight: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Vim

Thanks. But do you know a way to turn it off? Or, better still, fix it? There's not much in the documentation except 'it exists'.

BR, Lars.

I never noticed this, but looked into it due to your post. Ebuild files routinely have indents in their functions, and are not impacted. Examining the syntax file reveals this is because /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/ebuild.vim loads /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax/gentoo-common.vim. The latter includes:
