Looking at the post http://blog.macromates.com/2011/format-strings/, I was excited by the idea of being able to dynamically include other patterns into the matched scope.
However, it doesn't quite work. I have in my Jekyll grammar, a pattern:
{ begin = '{% highlight (html) %}'; end = '{% endhighlight %}\n'; name = 'source.$1.embedded.html.markdown'; patterns = ( { include = 'text.html.basic'; }, ); },
This is handled fine: it matches as intended, and puts the html into the name as expected.
However, I can't use the same trick in the included patterns:
{ begin = '{% highlight (html) %}'; end = '{% endhighlight %}\n'; name = 'source.$1.embedded.html.markdown'; patterns = ( { include = 'text.$1.basic'; }, ); },
In this case, the syntax highlighting of the embedded code is not applied.
I know this is a simple example: I am hoping to be able to extend it to automatically match whatever type of file I want highlighted (python, js, ruby, html, css, ... you get the picture).

Matt.
