Syntax highlighting with trailing non-alphanumeric character #26

Closed tomatic closed 9 years ago

tomatic commented 9 years ago

I think there might be a bug in the syntax highlighting. Whenever I append any kind of non-alphanumeric character to a word, syntax highlighting colors it red and underlines the word (using the xoria256 theme). This is true for !"§$%&/()=? characters and probably othes (haven't tested them all).

Additionally, seemingly random words are highlighted in the same way, e.g. in the spec/features/inline_links.md file "unescaped", "ok", "inline" and others. Is this intentional?

I think it's the spell checker. You could either:

Correctly set your spell language (:help spelllang) in your .vimrc (mine has set spelllang=en,it)
Disable the spell checking for markdown files in your .vimrc with something like au FileType markdown setlocal no spell

Let me know if this works for you

Bingo, it was the spell checker. Didn't even know vim one. I just turned it off by putting your second tip in my .vimrc (for future reference: it's "nospell" without the blank).

Thanks!
