From Vim's help [link]

                  *g:vimsyn_embed*

The g:vimsyn_embed option allows users to select what, if any, types of embedded script highlighting they wish to have.

g:vimsyn_embed == 0 : disable (don't embed any scripts) g:vimsyn_embed == 'lPr' : support embedded lua, python and ruby

This option is disabled by default.

So add add syntax files for lua and vim (or any other supported language to be embedded) inside after/syntax/ . example after/syntax/vim.vim to enable lua highlighting inside vim files.

Note :

• Syntax highlighting fro Lua inside Vim file worked fine but not for Vim code inside Lua file as of this commit : 742981f7df269e5f9f64e3bf4715b0b348863459.
