[TxMt] Grammar matching help

[Colin Hahn]

I'm trying to put together a grammar and having a hard time getting  
the pattern matching right.

The line I'm interested in will be in the following format--

KW: [any text except a percentage sign can go in here] % (fold)

What I want to do is apply the scope comment.line.percentage from the  
% sign to the end of the line, and variable.notes to everything in  
between KW: and the percent sign.  I also want to be able to use  
Markdown-style italics within the variable.notes section.

Here is the patterns block as I have constructed it thus far:

	patterns = (
		{	name = 'comment.line.percentage';
			match = '%.*$';
		},
		{	begin = '^KW:';
			end = '% \(fold\)|$';
			patterns = (
				{	name = 'markup.italic.notes.variable';
					match = '\*[^\*]+?\*';
				},
			);
			contentName = 'variable.notes';
		},
		{	name = 'markup.italic.notes';
			match = '\*[^\*]+?\*';
		},	
	);

This does everything correctly except the % (fold) only acquires the  
scope of the whole grammar and not the comment scope.  Anything  
following a percentage sign on a line that doesn't begin with KW: is  
matched fine.

Any help on how to construct the grammar to match the end of this  
line would be appreciated!
