Return to Question

I have Smalltalk sublime-syntax file (YAML) for Sublime Text 3 and I would like to add an highlighting support for embedded C code.

The inline C (which always starts with ^%\{ and ends with %\}$) code among the smalltalk code.

A simple example (not much C but wanted a simple case):

sigABRT
    "return the signal number for SIGABRT - 0 if not supported by OS
     (the numeric value is not the same across unix-systems)"

%{  /* NOCONTEXT */
#ifdef SIGABRT
    RETURN ( __mkSmallInteger(SIGABRT) );
#else
    RETURN ( __mkSmallInteger(0) );
#endif
%}
!

There is new feature embed in Sublime text (with even an example).

I tried to do something like this:

- match: '^%\{'
  embed: scope:source.c
  embed_scope: meta.environment.embedded.c.smalltalk source.c.embedded
  escape: '%\}$'

However, I was unable to correctly incorporate it into my current highlighting file. Could someone help me with that?

Does anyone know how to correctly embed one language to another?
