Re: Problem highlighting cword in help buffer (Text format)

I think the 'iskeyword' option controls the characters that are seen as part of a word. For example, if it contains '-', then my-text is seen as one word and as two words if it doesn't contain the hyphen. 

In your case, try ':verb set iskeyword?' to both see its value and where it was set.

Hi community,

I use this to highlight occurrences of the word when cursor is inside
the word, and cancel the highlight when cursor is outside.

```
autocmd CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * execute 'match Visual' (getline('.')[col('.')-1] =~# '\w' ? '/\&lt;' . escape(expand('<cword>'), '/\.*$^~[]') . '\&gt;/' : '//')
```

When i `:help autocmd` and read lines like these:

` autocmd_add({replace: `
` autocmd_add(#{replace: `

(backticks are not part of them)

if I place cursor on ` autocmd_add ` or ` replace `,
this whole string ` autocmd_add({replace: ` is highlighted as a whole
wrongly, and this is wrong too ` autocmd_add(#{replace: `.

But when I open the file directly with vim:
` $ vi /usr/share/vim/vim90/doc/autocmd.txt `
` autocmd_add ` and ` replace ` are not highlighted together as a whole.

it seems that the pattern does not count ` ( `, ` # `, ` { ` as boundary
of words in ` :help ` buffer. how can I fix it?

Thanks!</cword>
