The first [-----] is hilighted even though it shouldn't be.

Rendered simplates have one content page (the last page). It should be syntax highlighted according to the filename extension.

Negotiated simplates have multiple content pages. They should each be syntax highlighted according to the media type on the specline.

I wonder if the best way to do this isn't to somehow import aspen from within Vim and use aspen as a library to determine the media type per page.

And here's someone who used it for Jekyll front matter:

I open a second simplate in a new tab with tabe and I get no syntax highlighting on it.

I don't follow. Was the intention to create .spt file type that properly highlights the all the sections in the simplate? If not, can we make it so? 😃

Now that we've got highlighting going for the various sections, we should highlight the speclines themselves.

Auto-indenting doesn't seem to take in Python sections. E.g., I get:

if foo:
bar

Instead of:

if foo:
    bar

Right now it's nothing.

@mattboehm sent me a simplate.vim in private email following a conversation at PyOhio:

I thought I'd take a stab at getting a vim syntax file working for aspen, since you mentioned it to me during PyOhio.

The attached file seems to cover the basic case (2 Python sections and 1 other section. I used html for convenience, but I suppose the actual default is a different templating language.) It requires that the syntax files for python/html be in the same directory so that it can import them.

It's somewhat hackish and extending this to support all possible simplate files would be a non-trivial effort. Still, hopefully if you choose to revisit this problem, my example provides some help.

It's worth noting that even if the syntax did work perfectly, other vim behavior that is filetype-specific (abbreviations, snippets, filetype-specific plugins, etc.) would not work out of the box. When people do want all this functionality in a file of mixed types, I usually point them towards https://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn .

let main_syntax='simplate'
syntax include @Py <sfile>:p:h/python.vim
syntax include @Html <sfile>:p:h/html.vim
syntax region thirdBlock start=_\[---]_ end=_\%$_ contains=@Html
syntax region firstBlock start=_\%^_ end=/^\[---]/me=e-5 contains=@Py
syntax region secondBlock start=_^\[---]_ end=_^\[---]_me=e-5 contains=@Py nextgroup=thirdBlock

"syntax region firstBlock start=_\%^_ end=/^\[---]/re=e-5 contains=@Py
"syntax region secondBlock start=_\[---]_ end=_^\ze\[---]_ contains=@Py nextgroup=thirdBlock

This highlighting should be applied after the highlighting for the media type (#3) has been applied.

There is the literal page break control character and then there is "^L" -- both should be supported for separating pages.
