Okay, I really want to use Bluefish editor for programming. I've been using KDevelop but it is annoying for me in various areas. My only issue with Bluefish is that it screws up on syntax highlighting when it comes to escape characters within strings. Specifically quotes.

$search1="All results for \"thou?\":\n\n";

In this "All results for \" is highlighted as a string, then thou\":\n\n is not and "; and continuing on to the next line is also highlighted as a string. Is there a way to get Bluefish to recognize that escape characters are parts of strings and not terminators of the same?

Thanks a ton everybody. I hope that that made sense.
