Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-1650:
------------------------------------------
And not only syntax highlighting should be possible, code completion too but
only after changing the supported language.
> Support for adding syntax highlighing and code completion of different
> languages inside strings (PHP)

> Key: NETBEANS-1650
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1650
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: editor - Other, php - Editor
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Christian Lenz
> Priority: Major
>
> As of today, we can have a lot of languages inside strings like SQL or JS or
> HTML. If we have to add such code inside strings in php, it is really hard to
> "debug" or to figure out what you have forgotton and not really readable
> because it is still a string.
> For this, NetBeans has embedded languages support and to not say I want exact
> this language inside a string, which doesn't make sense, because In php I can
> have HTML, XML, JS, SQL and whatever inside of a string, I should change it
> via a hint inside of the editor.
> So when I have a java file with code like this:
> {code:php}
> $testSQL = "SELECT * FROM";
> {code}
> I would expect, that the code looks like a normal string, but when I click
> inside the string, I should get a hint where I can "Choose embedded
> language". After running this hint, a very small not disturbing dialog (Like
> the insert code dialog from java) should come up and should show me all
> supported languages like php, SQL, PHP, HTML, XML, CSS, JS, Regex, etc.
> This is a dynamic approach because setting it to a default language is not
> right. In the next line maybe you have this code:
> {code:php}
> $myWhatever = "<h3>Nice</h3>"; // Inline templates or smth for the view
> {code}
> And it should not look like SQL, it should still looks like a string, until I
> want to change it to HTML.
> This is the same approach as IntelliJ does and it works very well:
> https://d3nmt5vlzunoa1.cloudfront.net/phpstorm/files/2018/09/DQL_inject.gif
> Maybe not every language makes sense there and an option for that is needed
> as well but for an MVP all is ok. IMHO.
