generic-x mode has problems with highlighting strings containing quotes.
This happens on official win32 24.3.1 & on unofficial binaries of
pretest/
24.3.92. The test is done with .emacs.d containing only init.el
with one row: (require 'generic-x)
Let's take the following .ini file:
[{B725F130-47EF-101A-A5F1-02608C9EEBAC}10]
Caption=Name
The text is highlighted properly, according to rules in INI-Generic
mode.
Now let's insert randomly double quotes:
[{B725F130-47EF-101A-A5F1-026"08C"9EEBAC}10]
Cap"t"ion=Na"m"e
Now only parts between the quotes (like '08C') will be highlighted with font-lock-string-face
instead of font-lock-constant-face as defined in the INI-Generic
mode.Rest of the symbols in the row will lose any highlight at all.
The same problem manifests itself in BAT-Generic mode and in a custom
mode I've tried to wrote myself.
Thank you.
