Topic: comment notation


Holly Liu (Aug 17 2021 at 01:46):

is there something similar to using back quotes in comments that makes a whole paragraph a different color from the comments rather than a line?

Scott Morrison (Aug 17 2021 at 02:49):

Use triple backticks for a multiline code block?

Mario Carneiro (Aug 17 2021 at 02:51):

VSCode won't color the whole block if you use triple backticks though

Mario Carneiro (Aug 17 2021 at 02:51):

it will work in hovers however

Holly Liu (Aug 17 2021 at 15:52):

hovering over a word in VS Code

(it's subtle here since only numerals are special, but it's doing syntax highlighting in the triple backquote block)
