Cannot extract the multiline comments because regex does not seem to match #22

Hi,

Trying to extract the multine comment that goes as this:

/* TRANSLATORS:
    Line 1
    Line 2
*/
pgettext('context', 'key')

Using the following options for comments:

{
    // take the comment from the preceding line
    otherLineLeading: true,

    // run the comment through regex
    regex: /TRANSLATORS\:\s*(.*)/m
};

It works for single line comments but not for multiline ones. Any idea how to tackle this?

Same happens if I remove the regex option and only leave the otherLineLeading: true

Hi, as stated in the wiki, multiline comments are currently not supported. I will look into adding this feature with the next release.

In the meantime, as a workaround you could use multiple single line comments:

// TRANSLATORS: Line 1
// TRANSLATORS: Line 2
pgettext('context', 'key')

Ugh my bad, it seems that I've missed this mention.
