## Constants

## Ruby "symbols"
icolor magenta "([ 	]|^):[0-9A-Z_]+\>"
## Some unique things we want to stand out
color brightyellow "\<(__FILE__|__LINE__)\>"
## Regular expressions
color brightmagenta "/([^/]|(\\/))*/[iomx]*" "%r\{([^}]|(\\}))*\}[iomx]*"
## Shell command expansion is in `backticks` or like %x{this}.  These are
## "double-quotish" (to use a perlism).
color brightblue "`[^`]*`" "%x\{[^}]*\}"
## Strings, double-quoted
color green ""([^"]|(\\"))*"" "%[QW]?\{[^}]*\}" "%[QW]?\([^)]*\)" "%[QW]?<[^>]*>" "%[QW]?\[[^]]*\]" "%[QW]?\$[^$]*\$" "%[QW]?\^[^^]*\^" "%[QW]?![^!]*!"
## Expression substitution.  These go inside double-quoted strings,
## "like #{this}".
color brightgreen "#\{[^}]*\}"
## Strings, single-quoted
color green "'([^']|(\\'))*'" "%[qw]\{[^}]*\}" "%[qw]\([^)]*\)" "%[qw]<[^>]*>" "%[qw]\[[^]]*\]" "%[qw]\$[^$]*\$" "%[qw]\^[^^]*\^" "%[qw]![^!]*!"
