Title Body

I decide to learn more about vim and its syntax highlighting. Using examples for others, I am creating my own syntax file for Markdown. I have seen mkd.vim and it has this problem too. My issue is between list items and code block highlighting. Code Block definition : first line is blank second line begins with at least 4 spaces or 1 tab block is finished with a blank line Example: Regular text this is code, monospaced and left untouched by markdown another line of code Regular Text My Vim syntax for code block: syn match mkdCodeBlock /\(\s\{4,}\|\t\{1,}\).*\n/ contained nextgroup=mkdCodeBlock hi link mkdCodeBlock comment Unorder List item definition : first line is blank second line begins with a [-+*] followed by a space the list is finished with a blank line then a normal (non-list) line in between line items any number of blank lines can be added a sub list is specified by indenting (4 space or 1 tab) a line of normal text after a list item is include as a continuation of that list item Example: Regular text - item 1 - sub item 1 - sub item 2 - item 2 this is part of item 2 so is this - item 3, still in the same list - sub item 1 - sub item 2 Regular text, list ends above My Vim syntax for unorder list item definition (I only highlight [-+*] ): syn region mkdListItem start=/\s*[-*+]\s\+/ matchgroup=pdcListText end=".*" contained nextgroup=mkdListItem,mkdListSkipNL contains=@Spell skipnl syn match mkdListSkipNL /\
