[TxMt] Defining own language based on php + html? (2)

[Andreas Pardeike]

Additional question:

When I include another language, can I still "add" to that language?
I.e. my grammar looks like

{   scopeName = 'source.php+';
     patterns = ( { include = '#language'; } );
     repository =
     {    language = { patterns = (
                 {    include = '#part_html'; },
                 {    include = '#part_php'; },
             );
         };
         part_html = { patterns = (
                 {    name = 'meta.php+.html';
                     begin = '<htm>';
                     end = '</htm>';
                     patterns = (
                         {    include = '#part_php'; },
                         {    include = 'text.html.basic'; },
                         {    include = '$self'; },
                     );
                     contentName = 'text.html.basic';
                 }
             );
         };
         part_php = { patterns = (
                 {    name = 'meta.php+.php';
                     begin = '(?=<\?(?i:php|=)?)';
                     end = '(?<=\?>)';
                     patterns = (
                         {    include = '#part_html'; },
                         {    include = 'source.php'; },
                         {    include = '$self'; },
                     );
                     contentName = 'source.php';
                 }
             );
         };
     };
}

and the <htm>...</htm> part in

<?php
     include 'foo';
     <htm>
         <i>foo</i>
     </htm>
?>

is ignored. I thought it would match my part_html rule and become
a text.html.basic score and get parsed like that?
