karniv0re's Journal: ColdFusion Syntax File for Vim

cf.vim in the syntax directory. Contains a bunch (not all) CF 8 tags, and a bunch of our custom tags.

" Vim syntax file
" Language: ColdFusion
" Maintainer: Toby Woodwark ([e-mail])
" Last Change: 2005 Nov 25
" Filenames: *.cfc *.cfm
" Version: Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7
" Usage: Note that ColdFusion has its own comment syntax
" i.e. <!--- --->

" For version 5.x, clear all syntax items.
" For version 6.x+, quit if a syntax file is already loaded.
if version < 600
syntax clear
elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
finish
endif

" Use all the stuff from the HTML syntax file.
" TODO remove this; CFML is not a superset of HTML
if version < 600
source <sfile>:p:h/html.vim
else
runtime! syntax/html.vim
endif
