mbrio / gherkin.mode Goto Github PK

Thanks for making this syntax mode available. As a user of Behat I'm really glad my .feature files are now highlighted in my favorite editor.

It took me a while to find this though given it's name. Previously I had only searched for the language name (Gherkin) and not the name of the Ruby implementation.

What do you think?

gherkin.mode is a little agressive with highlighting keywords. Whenever a keyword occurs mid-sentence it highlights it as well. In the following example the But keyword occurs in the text "button". gherkin.mode will highlight it:

Scenario: Share using facebook.
    When I click on the "Share on facebook" button

I'm no regular expression guru but I guess that this can be fixed by only highlighting keywords if the occur after a linefeed followed by optional whitespace.
