Summary: Syntax Highlighting doesn't ignore comments and strings

Initial Comment:
Howdy,

There is a small but annoying bug in the syntax
highlighting (which manifests most obviously in JSPs).
 I'm not sure it can even easily be fixed, but if it
could, that would be lovely.

Take the following code:

<p>
<% if (something) { %>
    Some Text
<% } // end if %>
</p>

The line comment embedded within the chunk of Java code
causes jEdit to think that the rest of that line is a
comment, including the %>, so it doesn't think that the
code block ever completes (and the rest of the page, or
a fair chunk of it) is then highlighted as if it is
java code.

Don't know if it is fixable in a general way, but it
would certainly be nice.

(As an aside - if there was any way to change
background colord on 'sub-language highlighting' (i.e.,
to make the java code have a slightly shaded
background, or whatever) that would also be
exceptionally useful.)

Thanks...
--Derek

I attached a screen shot which will show what I think the problem is. It
was taken at svn trunk r10474 with "-nosettings" option.

I created a buffer with the exact text as the bug reported, and saved it
as .jsp, to make jedit open it in jsp mode. The ">" that follows the "//
end if %" is colored differently than the comment. Am I missing something?
Maybe I didn't understand the problem? You can reopen the bug if you can
reproduce it.

Ah, the original problem was reported to jsp mode. I can reproduce it in
jsp mode too.

What mode did you try? I can reproduce the problem in php mode at svn
trunk r10474.

This bug is VERY old, and I cannot reproduce it with jEdit 4.3pre11 - the
> after the comment is colored differently than the comment. Does this
bug still exist?
