IChameleonElementType and language highlighting

Avatar

I understand that IChameleonElementType is the right way to go if I want to inject a language in another, and that the main language has to return a single token of type IChameleonElementType for the entire subcontent of the other language. Now my question is how does the highlighting work in this case? I use two lexers for parsing and highlighting. For the highlighting is it enough if I return a IChameleonElementType with the adequate language?

Have tried to use IChameleonElementType approach for my language injection, yet i am not able to get the highlighter to work. The embedded language does not get highlighted.

Do i need to implement LanguageInjector for this to work? I somehow fail to understand the coexistence of these two concepts.

Chameleon type helps in parsing of content, you need own
SyntaxHighlighter or Lexer that can process mix of the languages
