+" Author:       Stuart Rackham <srackham@gmail.com> (inspired by Felix

+" URL:          http://asciidoc.org/
+" Licence:      GPL (http://www.gnu.org)
+" Remarks:      Vim 6 or greater
+" Limitations:
+" 
+" - Nested quoted text formatting is highlighted according to the outer
+"   format.
+" - If a closing Example Block delimiter may be mistaken for a title
+"   underline. A workaround is to insert a blank line before the closing
+"   delimiter.
+" - Lines within a paragraph starting with equals characters are
+"   highlighted as single-line titles.
+" - Lines within a paragraph beginning with a period are highlighted as
+"   block titles.
