----------------------------------------
Summary: Support for adding syntax highlighing and code completion
of different languages inside strings (PHP)
Key: NETBEANS-1650
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1650
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: editor - Other, javascript - Editor
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
As of today, we can have a lot of languages inside strings like SQL or JS or
HTML. If we have to add such code inside strings in JavaScript, it is really
hard to "debug" or to figure out what you have forgotton and not really
readable because it is still a string.
For this, NetBeans has embedded languages support and to not say I want exact
this language inside a string, which doesn't make sense, because In JavaScript
I can have HTML, XML, JS, SQL and whatever inside of a string, I should change
it via a hint inside of the editor.
So when I have a java file with code like this:
{code:javascript}
var testSQL = "SELECT * FROM"; // Could be inside a node script
{code}
I would expect, that the code looks like a normal string, but when I click
inside the string, I should get a hint where I can "Choose embedded language".
After running this hint, a very small not disturbing dialog (Like the insert
code dialog from java) should come up and should show me all supported
languages like JavaScript, SQL, PHP, HTML, XML, CSS, JS, Regex, etc.
This is a dynamic approach because setting it to a default language is not
right. In the next line maybe you have this code:
{code:javascript}
var myWhatever = "<h3>Nice</h3>"; // Inline templates or smth for the view
{code}
And it should not look like SQL, it should still looks like a string, until I
want to change it to HTML.
This is the same approach as IntelliJ does and it works very well:

Maybe not every language makes sense there and an option for that is needed as
well but for an MVP all is ok. IMHO.
