a Mac only text editor that is still maturing, but....
I looked at TextMate's syntax highlighting functionality, and
although it is very good, it isn't as sophisticated as jEdit's,
which allows dynamic switching of syntax modes.
However, this does not mean I could not be persuaded to do syntax
highlighting for TextMate as well.
Let's see if anyone else bites and maybe we can persuade you.

I'm not sure what you mean by dynamic switching. What I did in my
bundles was define two A4D environment (this was how Rails and Ruby
were defined). HTML (A4D) has the root environment as HTML outside
the <% %>. Inside the <% %> it has A4D as the syntax environment.
A4D is based on .a4d or .a4l extension. HTML A4D is based on
only .a4d. You could create another bundle for just .a4l with just
the library and end library keywords and have A4D as a child inside
of library. The only thing I noticed is that, if you are in HTML
(A4D), the text folding marks only show for html. You have to switch
manually (not dynamic) to the A4D bundle to see the folding marks.
Since I almost never use folding mark (i.e, collapse an If
statement), didn't see that as a big deal. All the text formating,
snippets are controlled by what area you are in.
The only thing I did was copy what I saw in other bundles that
related to A4D and put them in the bundle. I've got all the keywords
together, but could separate out A4D commands from 4D commands. Had a
little regex learning experience, stealing from SQL so that keywords
ignored case etc. What I said in my original post is that I know
there are things wrong since I copied and pasted a lot of the
definitions. I don't speak regex very well so If I didn't understand
something, I just left it there.
