Item2225: SyntaxHighlightingPlugin ignores macro escape

The SyntaxHighlightingPlugin ignores any MACRO escape. Neither ! nor ! work. This is particularly frustrating for highlighting simple scripts that use the date command.

For example, the following;

%CODE{"perl"}%
#!/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Getopt::Long;

my $date = `date "+!%Y%m%d_%H:%M:%S"`;
%ENDCODE%

Still tries to replace the %Y% with the image of a tick; %CODE{"perl"}% #!/bin/perl -w

use strict; use Getopt::Long;

my $date = `date "+!m%d_%H:%M:%S"`; %ENDCODE%

Yep, can confirm the problem. Unfortunately its not an easy fix...

I will keep looking at it and let you know when its fixed.

Another problem with this bug is that some people use %INCLUDE% inside %CODE%, which still needs to get expanded.

No closer finding a good fix for this
