Using ";" to delimit a commented line is actually incorrect behavior as far as I know.
It's possible there are machine tools that use ";" as a comment identifier but I don't believe that complies with the ISO standard for G-Code. The standard I'm used to using would comment out a line by enclosing it in parenthesis:
G00 G53 Z0.
(G54 X0.)
G53 Y0.
NIST RS274NGC Interpreter - Version 3 standard specifies parenthesis for comments.
G80 M5 (stop motion)
G80 M5 (MSG stop motion)
The semicolon comment syntax ;
is used for RepRap based 3D printer G-code comments. Where, relative to RepRap type 3D printers, "Some firmwares also obey the CNC G-code standard, which is to enclose comments in round brackets."
N3 T0*57 ; This is a comment
; So is this
N5 G28*22
(CNC G-code standard comment)
G28 (specify axes to be homed) X Y
using ";" for comments renders them white instead of green. I had to switch back to the original nc-gcode version to get them green again.
Is there a setting I am missing in the preview version?
