Syntax Highlighter for a Domain Specific Language

I have a DSL for which I intend to c开发者_JAVA百科reate a syntax highlighter for editors like vim, gedit and netbeans.

Has anyone tried this before?

Many thanks for any directions.

One possible option is to use eDSLs which falls under the same syntax conventions as their host languages. Lisp is especially suitable for this approach.
