wrong outline-regexp value inside a php block with web-mode

[MaxLanar]

Hi,

when I edit a php (only) file with web-mode major mode, the value of outline-regexp still matches html comments, therefore outshine obviously doesn't work (with php commented headings).

outshine work great with web-mode outside php blocks, but outline-regexp isn't updated as the comment syntax change. It's a problem with php only files where I need to use php comments for headings.

I have no idea if it is a limitation of outshine, a bug, or if I'm supposed to set things myself (in the latter case I have no idea how to make outshine works automatically in both cases, inside and outside php blocks). Any comment appreciated.

emacs 27.0.50
outshine: 20190131.535

Hi,

I don't know how web-mode works, but I guess its outline-regexp only matches HTML comments. I don't think this is a bug, but just a limitation of how outline-minor-mode and/or outshine work. There isn't a facility to support multiple independent outline-regexp values.

You could try changing the regexp to one that would match both HTML and PHP comments. If that works, you might consider submitting it as a patch to web-mode.
