<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I am working in a .ps1 file, and the document filetype is set to Powershell.</p>
<p>My source is:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-powershell"><pre><span class="pl-s">"Test message <span class="pl-cce">`"</span><span class="pl-k">$</span><span class="pl-smi">var</span><span class="pl-cce">`"</span> rest of test message"</span>
<span class="pl-k">Continue</span></pre></div>
<p>In <code>geany</code>, that text that looks like this:<br>
<a href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6686712/31773614-23f887c6-b498-11e7-97c8-379801b4e3fc.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6686712/31773614-23f887c6-b498-11e7-97c8-379801b4e3fc.png" alt="as-is" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>The issue appears to be that, although the Powershell lexer is capable of escaping <code>"</code> by use of <code>`</code>, it is not capable of escaping <code>"</code> while already inside a double quote state.</p>
