" check if we loaded this file before

" ========================================= DEFINITIONS ======
" ============================================================

" TODO: should we recognize things like => , : or not?
" TODO: more specifically, should we allow only the macros
"       that really are in Latte? like:
"       {link Presenter:action} <-- good
"       {link} <-- bad
" TODO: is this style (#blocks same color as $phpVars) ok?
"                     (n:attrs different color than attrs)
" TODO: macros inside <a> links

" ------------------------------------------------------------
" ------------------------------------------- n:attribs ------
" ------------------------------------------------------------

" Commented out because it breaks highlighting of inline CSS and JS.
" TODO?
