Another reply to your mail, once I get to reconsider:

You are probably launching yourself into web application programming
with Ruby. Some advices if this is the case:
~ * Minimize the Ruby code mix with HTML. This not only for syntax
highlighting reasons.
~ * Think of using the frameworks (Rails, Borges, .. )
~ * Think of using database connection frameworks on the level above DBI
~   (This should be standard by now).

Sorry if any of these advices find you informed or even in opposite
opinion.

As to the modifications to the SciTE lexer you requested: I probably
won't make them before a long time, since there are still a number of
problems in the existing lexer. Ruby is such a complex language to parse ...
