Syntax Coloring Problem with Xemacs

[Markus Jais]

hello

I have Xemacs 21.4 and Ruby 1.8.0

whenever I type $' in my Ruby code Xemacs treats the following
Code as string and everything is green.

anyone else with this problem ??
is there a workaround ?

one thing that can be done is putting a "#'" after lines with $'
like this
var = $' #'

but I wonder if there is a better way ?

any hints are welcome

thanks

Markus

I didn't have this problem but I had other syntax highlighting problems
with various combinations of XEmacs and the Ruby mode file.

After some Lisp fiddling (I'm by no means a Lisp programmer) I managed
to fix all the problems I was having to produce this:

And since I use XEmacs 21.4 also, I imagine it'll work for you too. I
give no guarrantees though and if it doesn't work, I can't offer any
more help. Good luck.

thanks. but it still does not work.

maybe I will eventually have some time to read the elisp documentation.
