I understand that it's not a trivial issue because for example single line
comments ("//") may occur in:
- PHP code;
- JavaScript code that is inside (X)HTML code that in turn is inside PHP file
surrounded with PHP code and with possible PHP insertions in (X)HTML or in
JavaScript blocks.
What is more - multiline block comments ("/* ... */") may even occur in CSS
blocks that are in (X)HTML code inside PHP files.
But... "multihighlighter" feature is most important exactly in such messy/untidy
(PHP) files where human eye is easily tricked and resulting problems in source
code are very difficult to find and correct.
Anyway I haven't experienced this issue in Eclipse IDE - heavyweight, I know.
