Description

LuaDoc comments (for functions and) for script files look like this:

--- Summary.
-- Description; this can extend over
-- several lines.

Unfortunately, EE scenarios currently start with -- Name: ... and changing this to --- hides the name of the scenario.

Make the beginning comments of scenario files LuaDoc/LDoc compatible.

It would be easy to adapt all existing scenarios. But maybe even a more tolerant interpretation can be found such that both variants work.

Not so obvious might be the interpretation of the following lines where --- is currently used for continued lines. Quite unusual.

Research direction

Start by locating the scenario-file comment parser and review how it currently treats -- Name: ... and --- continuation lines. Done means existing scenarios still expose their names while LuaDoc/LDoc-style beginnings, including multiline comments, are accepted; add or update coverage if the project has parser tests.
