Incorrect highlighting of var-strings

[phipsgabler]

var"#sprint#339"

In this example, only the part r"#sprint#339" is highlighted in red (probably confused with a regex literal). It should cover the whole var, though.

(See JuliaLang/julia#32408.)

Hmm, quite strange that my https://github.com/wg030/jlcode/blob/master/createlists.jl does not recognize this string prefix. I will have to check this out, I guess.
The quickfix is to add the line morestring=[s]{var"}{"},% after line 370.

It's a builtin of the parser, not a real string macro. Otherwise expressions like

var" x " = y.var" z "

couldn't work. Also, it's not really a string -- ideally, it should belong to the same class as identifiers.

But thanks for the workaround!

Ok, I see.
But which way would you prefer to display such expressions then? I am little unsure here.
Should they be displayed like strings, i.e. in red, or would it maybe even better to display them as identifiers, i.e. in black?

[phipsgabler]

Definitely like identifiers, I'd say.

While updating the package I looked at this issue again.
I decided to go with the solution I already suggested to you because form a sourcecode point of you these expressions are rather strings altough from a programming point of view they are identifiers.
