 A syntax group name is to be used for syntax items that match the same kind of
 thing.  These are then linked to a highlight group that specifies the color.
 A syntax group name doesn't specify any color or attributes itself.
 
-The name for a highlight or syntax group must consist of ASCII letters, digits
-and the underscore.  As a regexp: "[a-zA-Z0-9_]*".  However, Vim does not give
-an error when using other characters.  The maximum length of a group name is
-about 200 bytes.  *E1249*
+The name for a highlight or syntax group must consist of ASCII letters,
+digits, underscores, periods and `@` characters.  As a regexp it is
+`[a-zA-Z0-9_.@]*`. The maximum length of a group name is about 200 bytes.
+*E1249*
 
 To be able to allow each user to pick their favorite set of colors, there must
 be preferred names for highlight groups that are common for many languages.
