regex spanning multiple lines should be syntax highlighted
Submitted by a992400 on Monday, 24 October, 2005 - 15:49

When editing Perl scripts, jEdit highlights a regex syntax (blue by default), e.g., "m/\w\d/". But if the regex spans multiple lines, e.g.,

m/\w
\x/x"

then jEdit fails to syntax-highlight it correctly.

Ignore the extraneous " at the end of the
\x/x"
line. In fact, I should have put semicolons at the end of both m// statements.
