" This syntax file will highlight xml tags and arguments.
"
" Currently this is a pre-alpha 'better-then-nothing' version, and I probably
" not going to make any improvements, because it servers my purpose in its
" current form
" In other words, I copied Claudio Fleiner's <claudio@fleiner.com> html.vim
" available from http://www.fleiner.com/vim/syntax/html.vim, 
" and did some global search and replace and stuff.

" Remove any old syntax stuff hanging around
syn clear
syn case ignore

" Only tags and special chars (&auml;) are highlighted
" Known tag names and arg names are colored the same way
" as statements and types, while unknwon ones as function.

" mark illegal characters
syn match xmlError "[<>&]"
