But I think you would be disappointed by the few cases I handle for
PHP. I have written a mode for templates. In an HTML template I don't
expect people to declare function, declare classes, use exceptions
etc. All those cases are not properly handled by my mode. I don'
really "parse" PHP code ... it is more rules like ... "if the previous
line ends with { then I indent". By contrast, the parsing is much
stronger/powerful for HTML.
