## Here is an example for C/C++.

## GCC builtins
color cyan "__attribute__[[:space:]]*\(\([^)]*\)\)" "__(aligned|asm|builtin|hidden|inline|packed|restrict|section|typeof|weak)__"
##
## String highlighting.  You will in general want your comments and
## strings to come last, because syntax highlighting rules will be
## applied in the order they are read in.
color brightyellow "<[^= 	]*>" ""(\\.|[^"])*""
##
## This string is VERY resource intensive!
color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*""

## Comment highlighting
color brightblue "//.*"
color brightblue start="/\*" end="\*/"

## Trailing whitespace
color ,green "[[:space:]]+$"
