I use the LaTeX grammar and I have defined my own shortverb command: | so that I can write |foo| and have everything enclosed in | and | treated the same as \verb|foo|. So I'd like to mark the contents between | and | as verbatim, but not in the tabular definition such as

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c}

My attempt

{	begin = '\|';
	beginCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.verb.latex'; }; };
	end = '\|';
	endCaptures = { 0 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.verb.latex'; }; };
	name = 'markup.raw.verb.latex';
},

works for requirement #1, but not for #2 (the tabular case). What should I do that |c| in \tabular{...} is not defined as verbatim?

The best approach is to have another rule that matches the tabular case.
