[TxMt] Question about language grammars

[Matt Long]

Hi,

I had a question about the language grammar format and wasn't able to  
easily find the answer in the docs or wiki.    So sorry if this is a  
FAQ somewhere.

I'm looking at the reStructuredText grammar and find that it is not  
really working.  Try opening the spec itself and you should see areas  
where the highlighting is off.

My question is how I put a single-quote (') into the regex for a  
match.  I keep getting a syntax error (expecting a ;), even if I try  
to escape the quote.  If I replace the ' with a \x27 I get the error:  
too short multi-byte code string

I need to match something like this: [\b'"(\[{<\-/:](`\S[^`]*\S`)['") 
\]}>\-:\.,;!?\\\b]

Matt
