Hi,
I'm a happy registered user of Rapid PHP 2008. I have a question: When I'm editing a file that has for example a ".php" extension, RapidPHP recognizes the file normally as a PHP file and offers code completion based on PHP. Sometimes, however, I want to enforce code-completion for, say, CSS in that file for a while, and then switch back to PHP auto-completion. Is there a way to switch the auto-completion language dynamically while editing the file?

Re: Enforcing auto-completion for a certain language
The auto-complete works not based on file extension but based on the code. In PHP file if the caret sits between <style> and </style> tags, you will get CSS auto complete. You will get PHP auto complete when between <?php and ?> and so on.
Re: Enforcing auto-completion for a certain language
Thanks for the reply. You're right indeed. But in my case, I'm editing a file named "styles.css.php". It generates a dynamic style sheet. CSS files don't have a <style> tag, so that's why I need to enforce switching auto-complete to CSS. Your reply gave me the idea of adding the <style> tag while editing the file and deleting it before saving the file ... so this trick would do fine for now.
