[TxMt] MODx Syntax Highlighting

Hi,

I've been using TM for quite some time now and it's a great editor. The last weeks I had to write some code for a site using MODx (www.modxcms.com) MODx uses some special tags:

[[Snippet]] [!Noncaching-Snippet!] {{Chunk}} [~link~] [*attribute*]

I added some code to the HTML-Bundle for recognizing this which works quite good.

modx = { patterns = ( { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.snippet'; begin = '([[)(\w*)(.*?)'; end = '(]])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.snippet'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.snippet.nocache'; begin = '([!)(\w*)(.*?)'; end = '(!])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.nocachesnippet'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet.nocache'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.link'; begin = '([~)(\w*)'; end = '~]'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.link'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.snippet.nocache'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.setting'; begin = '([()(\w*)'; end = '()])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.setting'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.setting'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.chunk'; begin = '({{)(\w*)'; end = '(}})'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.chunk'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.chunk'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.tag.inline.modx.attribute'; begin = '([*)(\w*)'; end = '(*])'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'punctuation.modx.attribute'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.tag.modx.attribute'; }; }; }, { name = 'variable.parameter.modx'; match = '(&\w+)='; }, { name = 'string.quoted.modx'; begin = '`'; end = '`'; }, { name = 'invalid.illegal.modx.bad-snippetcall'; match = '([[[!])(\w+)(\s+)(.+?)([!]]])'; }, ); };

Now my problem is: There are some Snippet-calls which take parameters: [[Snippet? &parameter=`value` &parameter2=`value2`]] I tried to define the parameters as variable.parameter.modx and the values as string.quoted.modx but TM doesn't seem to recognize this. Also when I write a MODx Tag into a html-string (e.g. <a href="[(base_url)]">...) TM will ignore it. Last I tried to highlight invalid snippet calls (e.g. [[Snippet &param... (missing ?) or [[Snippet? &param='foo' (normal quotation mark)) but this won't work either.

Can you tell me what I did wrong? :)
