Description Martin Krauskopf 2006-12-18 12:59:41 UTC 
Compare attached Vim vs. NetBeans screenshot. In VIM expression is more readable
then in NB. i.e. also "${" and "}" should be colorized since it is not part of
the actual string.

Other case which looks little odd is:

  TMP="#{ENV['HOME']}/tmp"

Try to put it into editor.
Comment 3 Torbjorn Norbye 2006-12-22 21:12:43 UTC 
The problem is that the JRuby lexer does not split the strings into these
tokens; e.g. if I have


"foo#{x}bar"

I will get
" - string begin
foo#{ - string
x - whatever
}bar - string

To make the #{ and } substrings separate tokens (which I can then assign
non-string colors) I'll have to split up what I'm getting back from JRuby (or
patch their lexer further). Definitely doable, but I'm putting it off until I've
taken care of a few higher priority items.

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
