Syntax highlighting of heredoc in Ruby

13 ár síðan • updated by 12 ár síðan • 7

The syntax highlighting of heredocs in Ruby are missing (at least) three things:

* Interpolation is not highlighted:

<<-FOO

<p>#{can_haz_highlight_please?}</p>

FOO

* Heredoc starting without a dash is not recognized:

<<FOO

Not highlighted

FOO

* Heredocs as a method parameter mess up the closing parenthesis:

Hash.new(<<-FOO)

I don't want to write the regex for this one…

FOO

There is some documentation on heredocs here: http://blog.jayfields.com/2006/12/ruby-multiline-strings-here-doc-or.html
