The previous rules for strings used a regular expression that combined different elements of the string. This could, in a pathological case, cause Rouge to get stuck trying to lex the code. This problem can be fixed by lexing a quoted string in a separate state to
:root
.In addition to adding states for quoted string, this commit also adds support for basic string interpolation. The basic logic is lifted from the Ruby lexer. This fixes #974.
