It should be doable, so would need to see the grammar you tried to  
troubleshoot.

Yes, that’s because of how strings are matched with begin/end. If you  
edit the existing HTML grammar, add an include for your tags to the  
embedded-code array in the repository.

If you are making this as a derived grammar (i.e. one that includes  
the HTML grammar) you are current out of luck (but this will be  
addressed in the future, it’s a quite frequent problem).

Again, w/o seeing how you did this, it is difficult to say.
