Given the string "text text #{interpolation}"
Sublime Text 2 highlights the whole string with one color. I would like to highlight the interpolated text so it is easy to pick out. When I press ctrl-shift-alt-p in the interpolated section Sublime tells me the namespace: source.ruby string.quoted.double.ruby source.ruby.embedded.source
I am wondering where I would define a rule to highlight this(I think in the tmLanguage file), what format that rule would take, and how to go about assigning a color to it.
If you dig into the included Dawn.tmTheme
file (one of the only included themes that does this highlighting properly) you'll find these highlighting rules for String embedded-source
, for some reason some of the themes leave this out completely:
<dict>
<key>name</key>
<string>String embedded-source</string>
<key>scope</key>
<string>string source</string>
<key>settings</key>
<dict>
<key>background</key>
<string>#6F8BBA26</string>
<key>fontStyle</key>
<string></string>
<key>foreground</key>
<string>#080808</string>
</dict>
</dict>
This is better as it actually highlights the code within the interpolation as normal code, rather than all the same colour.
<dict>
