Package: joe
Version: 3.7-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
To reproduce:
1. edit a php file in joe
2. enter code like the following:
<?
$a=true?'true':'false';
$this = 'not a string';
?>
3. gasp at the syntax highlighting being incorrect
Expected results:
The single-quoted strings ('true', 'false', 'not a string') should be
highlighted
as strings, and the remainder of the text be highlighted as variables /
punctuation.
Actual results:
The single quote immediately after the ? is not picked up as the beginning
of a string, so the rest of the syntax highlighting is out of step (strings
are treated as non-strings and non-strings are treated as strings.
Workaround:
put a space after the ? (e.g. $a = true ? 'true' : 'false';) which is often
more readable, but often not used in other people's code!
I had an unsuccessful go at fixing this, but there are undoubtably others
better qualified to attack the problem!
Cheers & God bless
