Zen Coding and script languages tags (PHP, JSP, Ruby): <% %> <? ?> etc.

[mare]

Hello,

I know it's beyond HTML and CSS but it would be nice if ZC supported
some simple script languages tags, like:
<? ?>
<?= ?>
<% %>
<%= %>

I think this simple feature would be a great help for PHP, JSP and
Ruby programmers.
Of course it can't easly go with all the ZC functionalities, but for
now, just resolving abbreviations (and wrapping with abbreviation)
would be nice. The '?', '=' and '%' characters have no special meaning
in ZC yet, as far as I know.

What do you think?

Good luck Zen Coding!

You can always add custom snippets. Read SM tutorial about how to do this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/21/zen-coding-a-new-way-to-write-html-code/

Hello again,

I added some custom snippets to the zencoding.js, and:

'!' : '<!-- | -->', // this one works fine

// and none of these do:
'?' : '<? | ?>',
'%' : '<% | %>',
'?=' : '<?=|?>',
'%=' : '<%=|%>'

Should I put it in defferent key then 'html'?

'?' and '%' are illegal characters for snippet names

Is it possible to allow them, though?

Only if you create your own fork.
Otherwise it will break backward compatibility

Sergey, could you suggest, what changes should be done to accomplish
this? You know the code better ;)
I made a blind try to modify some regexps adding \? and \%, but with
no success.

I created an all-purpose zen-coding engine for UltraEdit and Notepad+
+, the last version can encapsulate reserved characters within curly
brackets (usually to escape other zen-coding special chars). In this
version you can do,

?>f#test[$a,$b]
<?php
function test($a,$b){

}
?>

with no special effort.

Great!

I'm looking forward for the Komodo Edit plugin

mare, basically, you need to add your characters in isAllowedChar() method:
https://github.com/sergeche/zen-coding/blob/master/javascript/zen_coding.js#L60

...and modify validator regexp:
https://github.com/sergeche/zen-coding/blob/master/javascript/zen_parser.js#L11

Thank you Sergey!

Now I have all the above snippets working and the way for creating
others opened

try

'qm' : '<? | ?>',
'pc' : '<% | %>',
'qme' : '<?=|?>',
'pce' : '<%=|%>'
