Support for multi-line statements

I have only noticed this with Ruby, because that's really the only language that I've taken the care to actually follow a set style, but when a statement, particularly method definition, takes up more than one line, styling does not appear as it should. I'm probably really bad at explaining this, so here's an example.

Each language has its own grammar for syntax highlighting. In general, a bug in the highlighting of one language shouldn't have consequences for other languages.
Also, Linguist only selects the correct grammar. For Ruby, GitHub uses textmate/ruby.tmbundle. You should open an issue there.

I can't see how it's broken though. The equal sign and true keyword appear to be highlighted correctly on the second line. Is there something else that should be highlighted?

Sorry, should have been a tiny bit more specific, and checked without GitHub Dark installed. You can see the difference if you install a Stylish theme, like GitHub Dark, or inspect the blob-code element of that line.

"verbose_errors" is not the span class "pl-smi", though it should be. This is only noticeable when using a stylish theme or something similar, because the default GitHub css shows pl-smi as the same color as default text.

This definitely does not belong in this repository, however I don't think it belongs in TextMate either. I am under the assumption that it is a general GitHub CSS issue.

The CSS classes are generated based on the output of the language grammar. So, even if the TextMate bundle didn't generate the pl-smi classes itself, I still think it's the source of the bug.

I don't have TextMate but, if you report the issue at textmate/ruby.tmbundle, someone might be able to check that it can be reproduced with the actual editor.

Closing as this isn't a Linguist issue :-)
