LUA block comment

[la_piaga]

zeus (i'm trying version 3.95p) doesn't hilight lua block comments "--[[" since it seems to ignore everything after the line comment "--".

You need to edit the Lua document type and in the Keywords section enter the following values:

Comment Start: --[
Comment End: ]]
Line Comment #1: --

With these values entered the following example code them seems to color the block comment and line comment sections correctly:

Code: Select all

function key_macro()

  -- this is a line comment
  document = is_document()

  --[[ 
    This is a block comment
  ]] 
end

key_macro() -- run the macro

Since the lua highliter was already implemented I thought it was a flaw of the editor itself and didn't think of a lack of definition in the document type configuration.
Ok, adding the block comment operator it works

I'm having an issue in LUA where double nested array references are also matching the end of comment and highlighting as block comment.

For example:
array[myVal[2]]

The ]] gets highlighted.
