Syntax definition for GEDCOM

I am currently trying to develop a syntax file for GEDCOM files.

I have identifed all the keywords and that works fine. I would really like to highlight the surnames in the file, but they are delimited by / /, so I can easily spot them

The problem is / / occurs all over the text as dates.

The line I need to hilight looks like

1 NAME Jane /Taubman/

I would like to highlight the /Taubman/ bit, with out highlighting the 12 in
1 DATE 12/12/03

afaik this can't be done, unless you can put all the names in your syntax file.
