Nedit -- Wrap: Inline Streams

[Waring, Steve (Central-Networks)]

Quoting Tony Balinski [ajbj at free.fr]

		I adapted my shell SH rules to allow for this, but my
solution isn't ideal.
		I have a pattern called "inline stream" which is
included after "double quoted escape"; it's Pass 1, "Highlight text
matching regular expression":
		  \<\<-?\s*(\w+>)\s*\n((.*\n)*?)(\t*\1)\s*$
		which, as you can see, will match multiple lines,
something to be avoided with SH REs. I set the context requirement to 3
lines, so sometimes the highlighting will get lost while editing (the
reason this practice isn't recommended). The parenthesised expressions
\1, \2 and \4 can be used to highlight the start marker, the content and
the end marker (same as the start
		marker) in separate "coloring for sub-expressions" SH
rules.

		In a similar way I have "improved" case/esac
recognition, which also has a fragile relationship with the context
length.

I have tried Tony's suggestion for the problem with a quote within an
inline stream, and it works fine. Tony, can you share your suggestion
for improving case/esac please?
