[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Nested Javascript template literals are incorrectly parsed. (#1984)

[Corey Farrell]

```js
log.info(`Listening at ${ansi.cyan(`http://localhost:${port}/app`)}`);
```
This snippet may be odd but it is valid JavaScript.  Having a template literal inside the `${}` of another template literal is valid.  geany 1.33 is interpreting the backtick after `ansi.cyan(` as the end of the first template literal.  Unfortunately this also causes the `//` in the URL to be interpreted as a Javascript comment so code folding is incorrect (the closing parenthesis is not seen).

For this specific issue I've just modified my code so `Listening at ` is a separate string so the call to ansi.cyan is not inside any template.  In other cases such as [lit-html templates](https://polymer.github.io/lit-html/guide/writing-templates#loops-with-arraymap) nested template literals will be unavoidable.

I'm not sure if this is a scintilla bug and even if it is I see that scintilla has been updated since the release of geany 1.33 so I figure this is the correct place to start.
