Is it possible to set-up the syntax file for php to treat "->" as a boundary, but not "-"?

It's possible to add

Code: Select all

<keywords casesensitive="0" weakDeliminator="-"/>

to the

Code: Select all

<general>

section, but this breaks the object operator by picking up the hyphen after the variable name while leaving the greater than sign behind.

ie. "some-string" should be one word while "$MyObject->DoSomething()" should be separated on "->".

Can this be done and if so, how?

If it doesn't simply work to put -> into that tag, I am not aware of another tag which does it for more than one character. That would need to be implemented in KTextEditor.
