Freemarker syntax highlighting issues with square brackets syntax ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-21819 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21819 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: freemarker Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Final Reporter: Kari Aliranta Fix For: LATER Ftl file (square syntax) highlighting seems to have two issues in the latest final, i.e.: 1. It needs user input to engage (except for interpolation tags, i.e. ${somevariable}) 2. It is stopped by ${somevariable} tags that are NOT within brackets h2. Example This is best exemplified by following beginning of an actual ftl file: (*1*, *2* etc. with stars are my markings for referencing, and are NOT in actual FTL file) {code} *1*[#ftl attributes={"layout":"defaultLayout"} /] [#if cmpsContainer??] [#if cmpsContainer.getComponent('protocols')??] [#assign protocols = cmpsContainer.getComponent('protocols') /] [/#if] [/#if] *2* <script>head.load("${root}/lib/redbox.js");</script> *3*[(a)alerts.success placeholder="${defaultPlaceholder}" class="fade alert-fixed&quot;]${uitags.assignmentRemoved}*4*[/(a)alerts.success] {code} The following happens: - When opening the file, the only things highlighted are the ${root} and ${uitags.assignmentRemoved} (considered "interpolation" in Freemarker syntax highlighting configuration) - You need to write anything at *1* to engage highlighting other syntax, in which case the highlighting runs up until *2* - You then need to write anything at *3* to continue highlighting, in which case the hightlighting stops at *4*, and you then need to write anything at *4* to make it continue - Note that the highlighting does NOT stop at ${defaultPlaceholder}
