Small bug in mcedit

Mon Jul 3 10:42:44 UTC 2006

Hello,
I would like to report a small but very annoying bug in mcedit.
When I use mcedit to edit a .php file with html contents, the syntax
highlighting is getting messed as folows:
- if i insert a php block in the html, if I don't put a blank
character (eg. space) after closing the php tag (?>), the rest or a
part of the next code gets a wrong syntax highlighting. For example:

--- test.php ---
<html>
<body>
<form name="<?= ?>"><?php echo "this code is not highlighted correctly"; ?>
<form name="<?= ?> "><?php echo "This code is highlighted perfectly."; ?>
--- eof ---

I didn't have time to take a look at the code but it should be a
simple parsing error.
