## rik_octave.vim

This is modified from [http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600] (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600 "http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600")

This file provides syntax highlighting for the GNU Octave programming language. 

Features 

* Highlights entire Octave grammar (endwhile, endfor, etc.), not just Matlab keywords 

* Updated to highlight all core Octave functions as of version 3.8.0 

* Highlights user functions and anonymous functions [@(...)] from within the .m file being edited 

* Use-dependent highlighting of Octave system variables 

   When querying system variables, keyword is highlighted as a constant.  For example, var = true, highlights 'true' as a constant. 

   When setting variables or otherwise invoking keyword as a function, keyword is highlighted as a function.  For example, var = true (2,4), highlights 'true' as a function. 

* Support for multi-line strings with line continuation characters as well as escaped quotes (\" or \') within string. 

* Support for new multi-line block comments 

* Error highlighting for bad number syntax, bad structure variable names, bad block comments, bad line continuations. 

* Optional support for highlighting operators (+, -, *, etc.), user variables, or tabs   

Errata 

* Occasionally anonymous functions are highlighted as a function even though the instance is of the name as a variable.  This is too difficult to correct without writing a full parser. 

OMNIFUNC 

* The syntax file has a list of every valid function in Octave which makes it useful as an auto-completion dictionary for use with ViM's omnifunc function.  Once installed, type a few letters of the name of a function and then use Ctrl-X Ctrl-O to bring up a list of possible matches. 

Addenda 

This script owes some debt to the two existing Octave syntax scripts: 

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1241 

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1591 

However, it has been thoroughly rewritten and expanded considerably. 

## installation

```vim

NeoBundleLazy 'mopp/rik_octave.vim', { 'autoload' : { 'filetypes' : ['octave'] } }
