Currently, the syntax highlighting string escape character
(often '') only works *inside* strings.
In languages like Perl, double quotes may be escaped *outside*
of a string, for example as part of a regular expression.
Eg: $new1=~s/(^.*id=\")(\w+)(.*)/\1$ids\3/;
At this point TextPad gets totally confused
It seems to me that either the String Escape should work at all
times, or a separate escape should be defined for outside
strings. Or perhaps a generic 'Escape Everything' char.
Would this break anything of other people? Or am I missing a
way of doing this already?
As usual, apologies if this has already been addressed.
