Syntax highlighting in files that contain HTML, Javascript and PHP
Alan Storm
recently working on with "HTML" selected as the language (actual text
included at the end of this email)
http://alanstorm.com/testbed/as_html.png
On line 17 the syntax highlighting goes pear shaped. (note the
different color <p> tags)
If I switch the language to Javascript, the code in the script block
looks right, but the HTML and PHP lose their syntax highlighting. If
I switch the language to PHP a similar problem occurs.
Is there a way to use BBEdit to ensure that files which contain PHP,
HTML and Javascript (common in PHP MVC view files as well as legacy
PHP applications) syntax highlight correctly without toggling back and
forth between HTML and Javascript?
Thanks for any help, or even a definitive "Nope, that can't be done"!

BBEdit’s syntax coloring engine always use the HTML rule for ending non-HTML data sections.
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#h-B.3.2> for details.
Instead, write the line as:
jQuery('#row_detail_'+numeric_id+' td').html('<p>Loading<\/p>’);

sticks to the standard on this kind of thing and encourages good
practices.
I use BBEdit to deal with other people's code on a regular basis, and
there's a significant number of real world script blocks that don't
conform to the HTML 4.01 Specification. I would find it useful if
there was a feature in BBEdit that was able to display the syntax
highlighting of these incorrectly coded pages as the uneducated and/or
rushed authors intended (pages that still work, and might even be
valid HTML 5) ). I believe that other people would find this useful
as well. Please consider this message a feature request to that
effect.
In case it's not obvious, this is a request and not a demand.
Thanks again.
