HTML multihighlighter nested quotes error

I've discovered that in certain situations, a single quote (') acts like a comment. For instance (from an underscore/Backbone template) in

<input value="<%= model.get('value') %>" />

the first single quote highlights everything as a comment until the closing "%>". Swapping the single and double quotes corrects the problem:

<input value='<%= model.get("value") %>' />

This is only a minor annoyance, but you get to something like a split "if" block:

<% if (classModel.get('classFull') === false) { %>

the opening curly bracket is "commented" out, making finding the closing curly bracket by highlighting impossible.

There's an easy workaround (don't nest a single quote inside a double quote), but I thought you might want to be aware of it.
