I have been trying to make a copy of the HTML syntax file which also enables the highlighting of everything between opening and closing braces { and }. This would allow a very convenient editing of Smarty templates: everything would be the same as plain HTML (which makes up the bulk of Smarty files), except for the special template codes, which are always in between { and }.

Some example Smarty code:

Code: Select all

{if isset($meta_keywords) AND $meta_keywords}
		<meta name="keywords" content="{$meta_keywords|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />
{/if}
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />
		<meta name="generator" content="PrestaShop" />
		<meta name="robots" content="{if isset($nobots)}no{/if}index,follow" />
		<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="{$img_ps_dir}favicon.ico" />
		<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{$img_ps_dir}favicon.ico" />

Anyone have an idea on how to achieve this? Many thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention, I am not particularly interested in detailed Smarty highlighting, so I don't care about special colours for Smarty keywords, operators, etc. Just a single colour for an entire Smarty block would be ideal.

OK, I seem to have forgotten about blocks. However, when I define a block as follows:

Code: Select all

[Block]
1_Name=Smarty tags
1_OnLine=1
1_AsString=1
1_Start={
1_End=}

only very few Smarty tags get highlighted, most seem to get ignored. Any help?

Blocks may not work very well with tags. It's not been used in any syntax file before and therefor haven't been tested. I'll look into it.
