Dollar ($) char followed by a single quote makes incorrect output

[dvdmarchetti]

Hi,
I noticed that if I write a block code which contains a single quote next to a $ sign, the highlighted output will be uncorrect.

Example:

<pre><code class="language-php">
&lt;?php echo 'Test variable$'; ?&gt;
</code></pre>

The resulting output will be:

<?php echo 'Test variable
; ?>

---

Also, when there's other text: the output it's even worse:
Example:

<pre><code class="language-php">
&lt;?php echo 'Test variable$$'; ?&gt;
&lt;?php echo 'Test 2'; &gt;
</code></pre>

Output:

<?php echo 'Test variable
&lt;?php echo 'Test 2'; >
; ?>
&lt;?php echo 'Test 2'; >

---

To solve this I tried to add another dollar sign so it becomes:
Example:

<pre><code class="language-php">
&lt;?php echo 'Test variable$'; ?&gt;
</code></pre>

The resulting output will be correct:

<?php echo 'Test variable'; ?>

Anyone noticed this behavior?

Have a good day!

Wow! That was a nasty bug and it also impacted Handlebars and Smarty. Thank you so much for reporting this. It should be fixed now.
