Comment inside enumeration doesn't work

[ullenboom]

  * [[:Start]]
/* * Community */

->

• Start

Community */

so the line plus */ stays. I can fix this by inserting an empty line although its just a fix for a parser imperfection.

  * [[:Start]]

/* * Community */

The current regular expression used to find the comments is broken. It reads:

"^/\*.*?\*|\s+/\*.*?\*/"

This matches either:

• At the beginning of a line (^) start at /*, match the shortest string of any characters (.*?) followed by a star (*)
• Or (|)
• At least one whitespace (which may include newlines) (\s+) followed by /*, followed by the shortest string of any characters (.*?), followed by */.

Notice that the first case ends the match in *, not in */. This is what happens in your example, where the match ends with the lone * and the Community */ part is left over. When you add an empty line before the comment string, the second case comes into action which (more correctly) matches <whitespace> '/*' <any characters> '*/'

In commit 52986720be61f1387ae8cd4edbba2ddbcbb74ded editor Michael Klier simply describes his change as "fixed regex" and does not explain why he exchanged a simple regex, which by the way also includes a match with comments of the style

// One-line comment

with a more complicated one which only allows a comment which either starts at the beginning of a line or is preceded by whitespace. And which is broken :frowning:

This could also be fixed by the change suggested in #12. Please test.
