A begin/end rule will create a \\G anchor immediately after the begin match ✅
however, if the begin rule matches the ending newline \n character
it causes it to place a \\G anchor at the beginning of every single line within the begin/end rule ❌
create a grammar with the following code
"begin": "#\n",
"end": "#",
"patterns": [
{
"match": "\\G.",
"name": "invalid"
}
]create a file and apply the grammar
notice how both a and c are highlighted red ❌
even tho there should not be any \\G anchors there
remove the \n newline from the grammar
notice that there is now no incorrect \\G anchors ✅
TextMate Help/TextMate.md states:
\G matches end of parent rule’s begin — or end of last stacked while.
