HTML Comment Syntax not working?

[versedi]

Good Morning, I've edited .todo by Brackets down-right corner options button.

I've edited lines into: "regex": { "prefix": "(?:)" }

Reloaded Brackets, but extension can't detect HTML comments markups anyway. When I use those classic ones everything still works.

I've tried to edit C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Brackets\extensions\user\mikaeljorhult.brackets-todo\unitest-files.todo unfortunately without any luck.

Any ideas what could cause that? Anyone else having problems with HTML Comment syntax with Todo?

It should work if you create a file with the name .todo in your project folder with the following code:

{
    "regex": {
        "prefix": "(?:<!--) *(",
        "suffix": "):? *(.*?) ?(?=-->)"
    }
}

I too am wondering why HTML comments are ignored. Can't we support this out of the box?

I wondered this since I first installed the extension a few months ago. I'm with @sampathsris, can HTML comments be supported by default?

[mikaeljorhult]

@bbodine1's pull request is now merged with master so HTML comment syntax will be recognized by default as of next version.
