problem with block start including end of line

[Alexey Demakov]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write colorer scheme for my language
which have the following structures:

mykeyword
{
...
}

where '...' may be any code with balanced { }.

<block start="/(mykeyword)\s*(\{)/" end="/\}/"
scheme="code"
region01="def:Keyword" region02="def:SymbolStrong"
region10='def:SymbolStrong' region="def:CommentDoc"
/>

<scheme name="code">
<block start="/\{/" end="/\}/"
scheme="code" region00="def:Symbol"
region10='def:Symbol' region="def:CommentDoc"
/>
</scheme>

It works fine when there are no end of line between 'mykeyword' and '{'.
How can I modify 'start' regexp to match newlines also?
I don't understand why my regexp doesn't work - docs say that

'\s' Whitespace character (tab/space/cr/lf)

May be there are other way?

Regards,
Alexey

Hi Alexey,

Colorer works on a per-line basis - this means that it can't wrap RE
over multiple lines.

There is a possibility to implement such a behaviour with multiple
wrapped schemes - using \M \m and "~" operators. You can check
perl.hrc for some working examples.
