Thanks Christian and Simon. The extension you mentioned looks very
promising.

My default CentOS comes with an old version 7.0.237 which doesn't even
mention the "conceal" config option. Hence I pulled the latest
mercurial sources and compiled. This new "version 7.3.3" has a
"+syntax" but a "-conceal".

How do I enable the "conceal" option at compile time? I tried './
configure --enable-conceal' but doesn't work.

Or do I have to actually pull the patches from the conceal developers
website? I am confused! Any tips?
