Bruce,
I double-checked my syntax quite a lot, in BBEdit, emacs, and xEmacs,
and the syntax is all
correct and good.
Then I realized that perhaps my use of 'heredoc' syntax may be
something the BBEdit
rendering/parsing engine doesn't understand.
Heredoc syntax is something PHP does just slightly and maddeningly
differently from Perl:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/
language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc
Typical PHP way:
print <<<HTML_STUFF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Foo Bar</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
HTML_STUFF;
Typical Perl way:
print <<'HTML_STUFF';
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Foo Bar</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
HTML_STUFF
(Note the maddening lack of a semi-colon in the Perl version, and the
maddening lack of
quotation delimeters in the PHP version, and the maddeningly
different number of less-than
signs in each version. ARGH!)
I think this theory might be correct, since of all my HTML elements
which have IDs, this
<div id="container"> is the only one that actually appears in the
function pop-up menu.
Hmmm.

Now, one or the other (mostly) disappears, depending on whether I set
the "Language" tab in Edit->Text Options to 'HTML' or 'PHP'.
Does this happen with every document?
I find that I lose function menu items when I've introduced an
extraneous '{' in a Perl subroutine, making the subroutine appear to
close somewhere in the middle of the next one where it encounters its
final matching '}'.
Drives me to momentary panic when I've checked syntax, found an
error at
a certain spot, want to look somewhere else, pull down the function
menu
-- and half my subs are gone: I've destroyed my script! And of course
it's the very error I'm fixing that's caused the BB function parser to
misinterpret my subroutines.
Just a thought...
