Hi all,
I'm looking to extend the definition of a comment in the textmate syntax highlighting, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve the effect I'm after.
I frequently comment out snippets of code by sticking `if (false) { ... }` around the code. The other variation I use is to convert an existing condition into a comment: `if (false && previous condition) { ... }`. You don't want to over-use this idiom, but it is useful in its place.
At the moment TextMate treats this just like normal code (which is exactly what you'd expect). I was wondering if there was a way to make TextMate see these patterns as comments. It isn't easy as you really want to pick the right brace to close the comment. There could be further blocks of code nested inside the 'comment block'.
This isn't a huge priority for me, but I thought I'd raise it and see if anyone had any obvious solutions.
Be well,
Will :-}
