"Unexpected token" from imported file about vim-colortemplate HOT 1 CLOSED

Thanks for the feedback! I've pushed a fix for those issues.

The problem with the parsing of highlight groups was names such as Bold and Italic, which were treated as keywords by Colortemplate. Consider this example:

Added none none                      
Bold  none none bold

As whitespace doesn't count (except that highlight group names must start at the beginning of a line), Colortemplate parses it as follows:

Added none none Bold

considering Bold a style attribute of Added. Then, it bails out because the following none is syntactically incorrect in that context.

I've fixed it by requiring style attributes to be all lowercase (the syntax highlighting already matched case-sensitively, but the parser did not). That fixes your particular problem, but since highlight group names are case-insensitive, in principle one might write a template like this:

Added none none                      
bold  none none bold

which cannot be parsed. But that is an edge case we can live with.

I think I'm over my head trying to succeed in this endeavor even if the tool worked flawlessly,

First, I hope that after the initial stumbling, the tool will work flawlessly :-) Please feel free to provide more feedback if you encounter more issues: v3 is still in beta stage.

Then, a suggestion: if you want to import a colorscheme, start Vim with vim --clean to avoid cluttering the import with unnecessary highglight group definitions (although you may also delete them after the import).
