Hi!

I am in the evaluation of EmEditor, and it is definitive my Favorite at the moment.

One thing I am not getting to work, I imported a ESY-Lua from the Library, checked the Highlight(2) -> Comments
Begin: --[[
End: ]]

So if I open my lua-file and check if Tools->Select Configuration my Lua-config is active, I still get no multiline highlight for that comment-block only the first line.
I compared this with a simple C-File
/*
foo
foo foo
*/
is correctly highlighted and the Config is the same.

any clues, or is it a Bug of the 9.13, which is the Eval-Version

Cheers
Matthias

Hello Matthias,

Thank you for trying EmEditor Professional!

I reproduced your issue, and the problem was the Line Comment (--) has more priority than multiline comment (--[[...]]). If you remove the string (--) from Line Comment text box in the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties, it works. I am not sure if I can correct this behavior at this moment.

If you want both types of comments highlighted, instead of specifying -- in the Highlight (2) tab, you can add -- in the Highlight (1) tab, check "Highlight Right Side", and select your favorite color (1 - 10). You will also need to remove the already defined keyword (-) from the list.

I hope this helps.
Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have further questions.
Thank you,
