Nested comments

EditPlus (as of v3.11) build 421 (2009-08-08) now supports an option to allow proper syntax highlighting of nested comments.

The following is an example of what a nested comment would look like in the Progress ABL programming language:

 /*
 This is a comment
 /* This is another comment */
 End of the first comment
 */

Use the #NESTED_COMMENT=y syntax file statement for nested comments in your syntax file. For Progress ABL it looks like:

 #NESTED_COMMENT=y
 #COMMENTON=/*
 #COMMENTOFF=*/

Languages that allow nested comments

• Progress ABL
• D Programming Language
