Title:
  the sequence "/>" in a string breaks javascript syntax highlighting
  within HTML

Status in “gtksourceview2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Try pasting this code into an html file and open it in gedit:

  ---------sample text that breaks syntax highlight---------
  <html>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  //<![CDATA[

    var f="/>";  //this breaks syntax highlight

    for (var i=0;i<10;i++) {} //just some more code with fucked up
  highlight

  //]]>
  </script>
  </html>
  --------end of sample text-----

  Expected result: the "/>" characters shouldn't break syntax highlight,
  since they are within a string, so it is valid javascript, and the
  javascript code is within a CDATA, so it is all valid HTML.

  Observed result: syntax highlights are messed up starting from the
  "/>" character string.

  
  Incidentally, note that this seems to be a problem with javascript syntax, or the way javascript interacts with html. It is not just a problem with HTML. I say this because the following example is highlighted properly and does not break gedit's html highlighting:

  ---- sample text that works fine ------

  <html>
  <div>
  <![CDATA[

    />
    />/>/>/>/> "/>"

  ]]>
  </div>
  </html>

  ---- end of sample text ----

  
  Also, the javascript code in the first example works fine when it is pasted in a javascript-only file without html.
