hi Sebastian Friedrich,
I am copying this reply to the textmate user list (which you can join at http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate), since I am a bit crunched for time right now.
Original request:
i saw that you are maintaining the perl bundle for textmate. if that's the case, is there any possibility to add html (or even sql for that matter) syntax coloring in HERE documents in similar ways that js/css/php scope is activated within html. I find myself having to edit lots of html within perl scripts (yeah, nobody i work with uses templating) and it would be quite helpful if there's a way to turn on HTML scope within those HERE blocks.
for instance, a HERE keyword like HTML_BLOCK would trigger all content to be html scope with variables ($, @) highlighted as such.
print <<HTML_BLOCK; [HTML] HTML_BLOCK
any chance you would like to implement that or could give me some hits on how to get this to work. Thanks so much in advance.
I think this should be pretty straightforward, declaring the .heredoc scopes to inherit styling from html (in cases where all heredocs are HTML styled) or making a new .heredoc-html scope to match only names with "HTML" in them which then inherit from HTML styles.
Could someone on the list help out with details?
Below my perl extensions. Create a new language and paste the contents. This will (amongst other things) add the desired by calling a heredoc 'HTML' or 'CSS'.
