Handle escaped backticks in strings. about make.tmbundle HOT 4 CLOSED

Negative look-behind is generally a bad way to avoid escaped characters, e.g. it fails in cases like: `\``.

Better to add a rule explicitly matching escaped characters (e.g. \\.) and place it above the other rules.

Good to know, thanks. I'll rework this.

Are there any good ways to "test" grammars other than eyeballing a bunch of source files and showing scope?

Thanks, I took the commit and also your $(VARIABLE) commit.

I did two additional commits to augment your changes.

As for $(VARIABLE) we probably then also want to match $$ as constant.character.escape.dollar.makefile.

I’ve been meaning to overhaul the Makefile grammar, unfortunately the syntax is sort of undocumented and rather arcane, see my question here to the GNU-Make list: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2009-10/msg00014.html.

Since I probably won’t get around to reworking the grammar anytime soon I was wondering if you want the role as collaborator for the Make bundle? Then you can just push directly to the textmate fork, just remember to follow the scope naming convention :)

As for a way to test grammars (outside TextMate) that is unfortunately not possible, but something I really want myself as well, and I pretty much have the code needed for this factored out, so it should seen be an option, so that we can start with unit tests for grammars :)
