Instead of highlighting directives in arbitrary positions, proper
parsing of nginx.conf syntax was implemented, matching what nginx does
internally. This allows vim to correctly highlight various complex cases,
including:
return 301 http://example.com/path#fragment";
and also avoids highlighting of parameters as directives, as in
server_name missing.semicolon.example.com
index index.php;
where "index" is not a directive but a parameter of the "server_name"
directive due to missing semicolon.
Most important downside of this approach seems to be that there is no
easy way to introduce directive-specific parameters. As such, only "listen"
directive parameters were preserved.
uwsgi is not a third-party module anymore. 'split_clients' is a new
block directive type. The directives were automatically extracted from
the ngx_command_t arrays, sorted in the C locale and inserted.
Trailing spaces got removed at some places.
I've been maintaining these scripts independently for a while now, even though
I'm no longer active in the community. Seems to me that contrib/ is a good
long-term home for the scripts.
