Hi folks,
Is there a way to force syntax highlighting to follow an order of
precedence for nested delimiters? 
I have set up highlighting for HTML files, using  and  as
multi-line delimiters.  Then I added  delimiters for ASP script
code.  This works fine if a block of script code stands alone, but not
if it is embedded in an HTML tag.
For example:
1. 
2. 
3. ">
Line 1 is white text.  Line 2 is green text. Line 3 is all white.  What
I want on line three is  in green, and the rest of the line
in white.
