when i insert a php block into my XHTML page, hi-liter recognizes the opening tag <?php and turns it red. but hi-liter doesn't seem to recognize the closing tag ?> and just colors it as script (tho not the same color as the php text, nor standard text).

the php works fine, but not the hi-liter. i have mentioned this to tech support, and the response it, yep, it doesn't work right.

does anyone know how to get this working ?

It won't work since the closing php tag is defined as script, whereas the opening php tag is defined as php delimiter. It needs to be changed in the source code of the programme - and it should be. Just as <a href> and </a> are both defined as anchor tags and thus get the same colour.

But this has never been a problem for me.

Inger -

when you say it hasn't been a problem for you, do you mean that the hi-liting issue is something you ignore, or that you have found a work-around ?

i don't see this problem with other html editors that i have plopped the code into.

I just ignore it. But I'll mention it to the CC staff, maybe they will change it.
