Inject PHP code without PHP tags

[calebdw]

Hello!

I'm trying (somewhat unsuccessfully, but trying nonetheless) to write a parser for the Laravel Blade templating system. I've captured the code content between the output directives (e.g., {{ $fooBar->some_attribute }}) but when I inject the content the parser thinks it ($fooBar->some_attribute) is just text.

If I do the following then the parser recognizes it as a variable and properly highlights it, however, this defeats the whole purpose of the templating system:
{{ <?php $fooBar->some_attribute ?> }}

Something similar occurs in markdown file with PHP fenced content:

E.g., here the php parser thinks the content is just text

whereas it's a variable assignment with the php tags

Is there a way to have the parser recognize the content as php without explicitly declaring the php tags?

Thanks!

It looks like the Go parser allows statements at the top level for this very reason (tree-sitter/tree-sitter-go#63).

I'll submit a PR to do the same with this parser.
