Description Magnus Hoff 2013-10-09 11:13:15 UTC
When writing node.js scripts it is common to include a shebang at the top, like `#!/usr/bin/env node`, and save it in a .js-file. However, the syntax highlighter for JavaScript does not understand the shebang, and tries to highlight it as JavaScript.

It is understood as two literal regular expressions (/usr/bin and /env node), the last of which is not closed, meaning that the rest of the file is attempted understood as part of the last regular expression.

This defeats syntax highlighting for .js-files that start with a shebang.

Can you look into prolog.xml and look how it's done there, and then modify javascript.xml accordingly and provide a patch?
Comment 3 Magnus Hoff 2013-10-09 13:36:08 UTC
If I can find the time for it, I will certainly post a patch here :)

Patch that fixes the problem

This fixes the bug on my system. I have not checked out source code to produce this, I simply made a best effort based on the files on my system. It does, however, work for me :)
