There's a bug in the syntax colorization for javascript.

Here's the sample code to replicate the problem :



The algorithm used by PhpEd doesn't take into account the backslash symbol which escapes the quote and thus highlights '/g' as a string instead of '''

Thanks for fixing it

My previous post doesn't display as expected.

I'm not sure if this can be solved at all...
If we change highlighter and it starts recognizing everything between / and / as a regexp, it will fail in many other cases, for example:

i = 5;
a = 8/4 + 55/i;

From the highlighter's perspectives /4 + 55/i will look like a regexp, whereas it is certainly not.

Hi Dmitri,

I'm glad to see that you're back from holidays and thanks for your answer.

To answer your remark, I'd say that I don't want the highlighter to recognize the regular expression between the '/', but rather not to recognize the backslash + quote as a string start, since the backslash is here to protect the quote...

What do u think ?

I think it's much easier
