#4 Python triple-quoted strings not matching properly

[Yet Another Perl Hacker]

Firstly, a 'well done' to the people involved with this project! xslthl does a nice job! Thank you!

I'm noticing that the python-hl.xml highlighter works well except that it has a very annoying quirk with triple-quoted string blocks. As an example, the following program text in docbook:

<programlisting language="python">

def helloWorld():
"""
A sample string
"""
</programlisting>

shows up in the resulting output document as:

def helloWorld():
"""
A sample string
"
""

Looking at the FO output file, I can confirm that it's treating the second """ as two separate items. Just for grins, I updated the python-hl.xml file to add the endString tag and that doesn't seem to do anything either. :(

I'm assuming that this is a bug that will require some code changes (eg each token match item will need to be sorted by length (longest first)).

I am using the docbook 1.74 ns XSL with the downloaded changes from the xslthl site put on top.

The end of the string wasn't properly marked if the end token was larger than 1 character. This issue has been fixed in SVN commit #95 and will be included in version 2.0.1
