Nope, because you need to be explicit which type of SQL you're working with - MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, etc. Would be hard to write a regexp to guess that for the editor. :) In the Vim case, it reads your delimiter name and applies syntax highlight from that (mysql, javascript, html). > Making the parser more > complex for no benefit to the actual language (some detriment, I would > argue) is not the fix here. > > -Sara > > P.S. - Yes, I'm assuming a US layout, you know where your quote key is. I you read my text more carefully, you'd see that I thought the parser would be simplified by my suggestion, by removing what I thought was an arbitrary limitation. I was wrong. :( Olle -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
