triple quoted strings, presentation compiler for syntax highlighting?

[Rob Nikander]

Hi,

I just downloaded ensime and am testing it out on some simple files. I notice that triple quoted strings do not parse and highlight correctly in emacs:

    val s = """foo " bar """

    // it thinks this is inside a string

I assume this is a bug in scala mode. Do you know if the Scala presentation compiler has an API for getting this kind of syntactic/parse information? Could emacs use that, instead of its regex hacks, for parsing and syntax highlighting?

This is a scala-mode thing, not an ENSIME thing per se.

Instead of the old scala-mode, try the new scala-mode2 instead:
https://github.com/hvesalai/scala-mode2

It handles your triple-quote example fine.
