## Here is an example for C/C++.
##
-syntax "C" "\.(c(c|pp|xx)?|C)$" "\.(h(h|pp|xx)?|H)$" "\.ii?$" "\.(def)$"
+syntax "c" "\.(c(c|pp|xx)?|C)$" "\.(h(h|pp|xx)?|H)$" "\.ii?$" "\.(def)$"
color identifier "\b[A-Z_][0-9A-Z_]+\b"
color type "\b(float|double|bool|char|int|short|long|sizeof|enum|void|static|const|struct|union|typedef|extern|(un)?signed|inline)\b"
color type "\b((s?size)|((u_?)?int(8|16|32|64|ptr)))_t\b"
color statement "\b(try|throw|catch|operator|new|delete)\b"
color statement "\b(goto|continue|break|return)\b"
color preproc "^[[:space:]]*#[[:space:]]*(define|include|(un|ifn?)def|endif|el(if|se)|if|warning|error)"
-color brightmagenta "'([^'\]|(\\["'abfnrtv\\]))'" "'\\(([0-3]?[0-7]{1,2}))'" "'\\x[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,2}'"
+color constant "'([^'\\]|(\\["'abfnrtv\\]))'" "'\\(([0-3]?[0-7]{1,2}))'" "'\\x[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,2}'"
##
## GCC builtins
#Parenthetical Color
# color magenta "[(){}]" "\[" "\]"
+color constant.number "\b[0-9]+\b"
##
## String highlighting. You will in general want your brightblacks and
## strings to come last, because syntax highlighting rules will be
## applied in the order they are read in.
-color constant ""(\\.|[^"])*""
+color constant.string ""(\\.|[^"])*""
##
## This string is VERY resource intensive!
-#color cyan (s) ""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$.*?^(\\.|[^"])*""
+#color cyan start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*""
## Comment highlighting
color comment "//.*"
-color comment (s) "/\*.*?\*/"
+color comment start="/\*" end="\*/"
## Trailing whitespace
#color ,green "[[:space:]]+$"
