Syntax highlighting inside HTML tags

[s4y]

First off, awesome project.

I've only been using it for a bit, but notice an issue with syntax highlighting inside HTML tags. Code like this:

<p[/* Lasso code here */]>Text text text</p>

…is highlighted with the color of HTML tags. Keywords, etc. are colored correctly, but variable names and other text is not.

Your example of a comment works for me. As do both thread variables and local variables.

What seems to be colored the same as the HTML tags are those items which have no highlighting applied to them, such as member tags.

So, for example, if I have this:

<p [integer($thread_var->find('test')->get(#local_var)) + 5]">

everything that is usually specially highlighted is, and the following items, which would just be the default text color, are now the same color as the HTML tag:

1. Every parenthesis
2. The member tags "find" and "get"
3. The number "5"

For me, the default text color is white. The text between the HTML tag is white, and instead of the "find", "get", and "5" being white inside the HTML tag, they're the same color as the HTML tag. I'm not sure this is a bad thing. I don't know if I would really want them to be white like the text inside my HTML tag. I think it might be better to let them be the default color of the HTML tag to indicate continuity / where you are with the code.

Is there some reason you would like to see them be the default color of plain text instead of the default color of the HTML tag when the code is placed there?

bfad, you're right — my example wasn't great. Here's a better one:

<form action="[Response_Path]?param=true">

Everything is the color of an HTML string. Syntax highlighting, for me, indicates how the document is divided — and in this case, it doesn't show where what is LassoScript and what is HTML.

If I made [Response_Path] a keyword, it would get highlighted, but that wouldn't help for custom tags and types. I'll take a look at this and see what I can do.
