Hi all, I am new to TextMate, and not sure if it's appropriate to ask a question about embed language here.
I have a language needs to embed JSON language syntax highlight. However, unlike most languages to have an specific identifier to mark the embed language scope like Markdown:
{"hello": "world}Here, for markdown language, the begin is ```json, and the end is ```. The contents between begin and end are real JSON. However, in my own language I just treat a line starts the { and [ as a JSON, since they are the begin characters of a valid JSON. And for my case, the end is the empty line. So the difference is that the matched line of begin regex also should be treat as the JSON language so that I can include source.json. But I don't know how to achieve this.
If I understand correctly you can do this using look-aheads, like:
{ begin = '^(?=[[{])'; end = '^$'; patterns = ( { include = 'source.json'; } ); }
Hope that helps, Martin
