Kari Aliranta updated JBIDE-21819:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
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. are my markings for referencing, and are NOT in actual FTL file)

{quote}*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]{quote}


The following happens:

- When opening the file, the only thing highlighted is ${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}
