Environment

Joplin version: 1.0.161
Platform: Only tested on: Linux,Windows,Android
OS specifcs: Windows 10,Android 8.1 , Kubuntu 19.04

/* LEVEL 0
    /*
      multiline nested comment LEVEL 1
    */
    println("on kotlin this is a commented code in comment LEVEL 0")
    /*
        another multiline nested comment LEVEL 1
    */
*/

Describe what you expected to happen:

I espect the block is colorize same as single comment but the line that start with println is colorized as a executable code (sorry for my bad english)

!!! Also in this post the line is wrong colorized as executable

We are using hightlightjs and this is an upstream issue. Can you please report the issue there?

ok
highlightjs/highlight.js#2092

Thanks, let's hope they fix it. There have been PRs open for 4-5 years, I don't even want to start with issues.

@laurent22 I'm not sure, but maybe we should switch to a different highlighter. I have the nagging feeling that the highlightjs project is going down the drain.

[laurent22]

@tessus, maybe but not sure anything better and highlight.js is widely used so there's a good chance it will keep being maintained.

@laurent22 I understand, I just had the feeling that nothing is happening over there. Although they have fixed the nested kotlin comment bug 2 days ago, which seems extremely fast, since there are issues and PRs open that are a few years old.

Note to self: the fixd should be available in the release that comes after 9.15.9
