How to easily add syntax highlighting for custom DSLs in Vim

Question

I am wondering how convenient it is to add custom DSL syntax to VIM. Is there a good tutorial on this topic somewhere?

Answer 1

vim wiki on wikia has a good tutorial on creating syntax files

Answer 2

I'm not sure there are tutorials, but the basic steps are:

• Read :help syntaxfrom Vim, all this to understand how syntax highlighting works in Vim
• Look at the existing syntax file in the $ VIMRUNTIME \ syntax, indicating the language closest to what you want. By adapting an existing file, you don't have to rewrite everything from scratch.

• .vimrc, :
  au BufNewFile,BufRead *.newtype set filetype=newtype
