matchit [1] Hmm. I do not know how to highlight the beginning and end of such statements, But, using matchit, pressing % cycles between the beginning and end of conditionals and loops in my bash scripts (e.g., between for <-->done, or if <--> fi)--conditionals and loops that use no braces. You might need to edit a matchit config. The Maple V script does this, so maybe by looking through its ftplugin/maple.vim, you can modify it for matchit.[2] I don't know if you have already searched the Vim tips site, but there are two other vim scripts for matlab.[2][3] (Both say MatLab is supported in vim7.)
