Description
Describe the issue
In Ruby, single quote and double quote strings work differently:
In addition to disabling interpolation [(
#{}
syntax)], single-quoted strings also disable all escape sequences except for the single-quote (\'
) and backslash (\\
).
https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.1/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Strings
But in ruby.js, they are implemented identically
highlight.js/src/languages/ruby.js
Lines 132 to 139 in 9c49a42
which leads it to incorrectly highlight #{}
substitutions in single quoted strings which actually have no effect, they are just literal #{}
characters (in the "github
" theme):
instead of highlighting it as a string, like it does if we remove the #
:
Which language seems to have the issue?
Ruby
Are you using highlight
or highlightAuto
?
N/A
Expected behavior
Single and double quoted strings should have separate highlighting rules for Ruby.
Additional context
https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.1/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Strings
Unrelated, but for double quoted strings, that page also lists a couple interpolation syntax shorthands that are not implemented in the highlight.js grammar:
You can also use
#@foo
,#@@foo
and#$foo
as a shorthand for, respectively,#{ @foo }
,#{ @@foo }
and#{ $foo }
.
