Description
Please add something that lets you comment out a block either
/* */
or
.coment
.endc
style. Adding // to each thing, to work out what is actually causing the compile error or code error is tedious. Also adding long form comments to be read by a documentation engine gets harder when you can't do free formatting on each line.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating Millfork's comment-tokenization and parser code, then check how documentation comments are handled. Done means the compiler accepts both /* */ and .coment/.endc block forms without requiring // on each line, with coverage for multiline input.
