Description Pedro Villavicencio 2010-08-12 16:23:02 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtksourceview2/+bug/580877

"If you have an HTML tag with an attribute that has a value in single quotes, and the string of this value contains a blank space the syntax highlighting fails. Maybe this is an issue also with other language types.

To reproduce simply type this in gedit and save it as a HTML-file:

<meta name='author' content='Hans Müller' />

This example demonstrates also another issue with non-ASCII characters (ü).
(see screenshot)"

Hi! I can confirm that this bug still exists on the trunk version.
Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2013-09-24 17:02:02 UTC 
The value should be surrounded by double quotes, not single quotes.

If you give a link to the HTML reference where it is explained that single quotes is also valid, feel free to reopen this bug.
