Bug#323044: two small problems with vim RST syntax highlighting

[martin f krafft]

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-071+1
Severity: minor

Vim's RST (restructured text) highlighting is very nice, but there
are two problems.

  1. inline references are not highlighted when the line is broken:

     If `this text
     is a reference`_ then the stuff between `'s is not highlighted
     due to the linebreak

  2. if a reference name contains an apostrophe (`madduck's ref`),
     then it is highlighted properly. However, when the reference is
     then defined, the highlight will be that of a comment, not the
     regular one (that would happen without the apostrophe):

     .. madduck's ref: bla bla

I poked at the syntax for a file, but vim's syntax configuration
remains a mystery. Thus, I am sorry that there is no patch.
