EMACS with ruby-mode

ruby-talk
1

I'm using EMACS' ruby-mode, and with the following code, "x += 3" gets
highlighted as if it was a string.

  puts %{it's annoying}
  x = 3 + 5

Does anyone know a quick workaround/solution? Is there some Ruby mode
for EMACS that doesn't have this problem?

I've found there are a number of syntax highlighting quirks with Ruby mode. I'd love to hear a solution as well. I haven't yet dug into the code myself.

As a workaround, I now do:

  a = "'"
  puts %{it#{a}s annoying}
  x = 3 + 5

It's not nice, but the broken syntax highlighting is worse, especially
when one uses %{...} all over the place.

None that I'm aware of, but you can try:

puts %{it's annoying} #' yes it is

puts %{it\'s annoying}
x = 3 + 5

or Lionel's suggestion:

puts %{it's annoying} # '
x = 3 + 5

If my elisp-fu were stronger, I'd fix it, but I'm not so good on the emacs syntax table side of things. Especially a monster like ruby.

I like that - thanks for the suggestion!
