I did find a perl script when I saw this in the php/html one, but I couldn't 
quite see how it worked:

***** THIS FILE WAS GENERATED BY A SCRIPT - DO NOT EDIT *****

There didn't seem to be a way of specifiy the various rhmtl delimiters:

<% .. %>

<% .. -%>

% (ruby code until end of current line)

There can be a '%>' at the end of a ruby comment line where it has to pop two 
contexts to get back to the html context it was in. So as long as it works at 
least as well as the current highlighter please autogenerate it in the 
future.
