Cannot switch context in WordDetect

[lwrage]

I have a highlighting configuration for AADL which works with kate and highlighting-kate, but not with skylighting. AADL allows the embedding of sub-languages each of which may have different keywords. In my configuration I use the keyword annex to switch to context Annex and there the sub-langugage name emv2 to switch to the EMV2 context that highlights emv2 specific keywords.

When processed with skylighting the keyword annex is missing from the html output and emv2 keywords are not highlighted. It seems that context switch in a WordDetect rule doesn't work.

The configuration: https://gist.github.com/lwrage/fa17916a6c61696c8e543b3bd6a93e89 Test input file: https://gist.github.com/lwrage/78d6414d8a562299937f262d36ba30af Outputs form highlighting-kate and skylighting: https://gist.github.com/lwrage/2576c79e1fed879761b5fe1c5693b6d5

For ease of reference, part of the original:

    properties
      p => "a string";
    annex emv2 {**
      use types ErrorLibrary;
      component error behavior
        transitions
          system  -[ ip{noerror} ]-> same;

Skylighting:

    <span class="kw">properties</span>
      p =&gt; <span class="st">&quot;a string&quot;</span>;
     emv2 {**
      use types ErrorLibrary;
      component error behavior
        transitions
          <span class="kw">system</span>  -[ ip{noerror} ]-&gt; same;

Highlighting-kate:

    <span class="kw">properties</span>
      p =&gt; <span class="st">&quot;a string&quot;</span>;
    <span class="kw">annex</span> <span class="kw">emv2</span> {**
      <span class="kw">use</span> <span class="kw">types</span> ErrorLibrary;
      <span class="kw">component</span> <span class="kw">error</span> <span class="kw">behavior</span>
        <span class="kw">transitions</span>
          system  -[ ip{<span class="fu">noerror</span>} ]-&gt; <span class="bu">same</span>;

Note that the word annex is completely dropped!

One thing I notice is that the WordDetect is not matching annex. When you change WordDetect to StringDetect, annex gets matched as a keyword. Probably this is a bug in skylighting's detection of word boundaries.

Released a new version where this is fixed. THanks for the report!
