Hi,

i'm extending the XMLSourceParser to add syntax highlighting for a templating language.

So far syntax highlighting is working, however with some strange quirks which i couldn't find a solution for.

The highlighting works fine if if past a single line of templating code into the editor, ie

 <div> {{ foo }} </div>

the brackets are correctly tokenized into open and close regions, and foo is correctly tokenized and highlighted as a keyword.

When i type the code manually (character by character), the SourceParser.parseNodes() method is not called anymore, as soon as i enter the Templating content - after "{{".

If i cut the line and paste it again into the editor, parseNodes() is called and highlighting works as expexted.

So i'm wondering how does the StructuredEditor determine if it should call parseNodes() on my SourceParser (which extends XMLSourceParser) ?

Any hints greatly appreciated!
