description

Pretty straight forward.  It highlights a BNF grammar definition.  Not too fancy, but it makes writing a BNF more pleasant.  You can see a screenshot of bnf.vim at http://students.cs.byu.edu/~mtb6/bnf_vim.png .  For more complex BNF grammar definitions, you may want to check out http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=545 which is an EBNF syntax file by Hans Fugal.

install details

Just put it in your ~/.vim/syntax directory and add an autocommand to load it up on all files ending with .bnf.  Something like "au bufreadpre,bufnewfile *.bnf set ft=bnf" will do nicely.
