----------------------------------------------------------------

The overhauled scanners of JBIDE-20180 (PR sent) happen to solve these. It's not to say that it makes square bracket syntax handling perfect (for example, if the syntax changes after you have opened the file, it won't re-scan the document automatically), but it solves the specific problems describe here.

> 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*[@alerts.success placeholder="${defaultPlaceholder}" class="fade alert-fixed"]${uitags.assignmentRemoved}*4*[/@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}
