bas : line extend character _ in comments #716

Open meteorquake opened 11 months ago

meteorquake commented 11 months ago

In vba type languages a comment ending in (space) continues the comment on the next line (as with any use of the ending) So the line(s) that follow need to be colourised as comment. Currently this doesn't happen. Practically speaking, this becomes relevant when you have a line that's extended using _ and comment it off with a ' in front of its opening.

Example :-

' Comment _ comment not a comment
