Mixing Blade and HTML Comments

[uzegonemad]

If I place HTML comments inside Blade comments, I lose syntax highlighting.

{{--
<!-- Some HTML Comment -->
@include('something')
--}}

I can look into this but is there really a need to do this? If you want to have HTML comments like that just put them before blade.

In some cases, it is useful to comment an entire block, which might contain HTML comments.

Something like...

{{-- TODO: add debug output
<div class="debug">
    @if (true == false)
    Some debug info here
    @endif
</div><!-- /.debug -->
--}}

Although that said, I did just notice a separate issue where only the first line of a multiline comment will be formatted.

Alright, I will look into it.

Thanks! And thanks for all your hard work.

I experience this issue even with blocks that don't contain HTML comments.

This pattern will capture comments including multiple lines: (\{\{--[\s\S]*--\}\})

However, the first part of the comment {{- is being overridden by at least the constants pattern. Same as the closing }}. The second dash in the first bracket group and both dashes in the closing bracket group I think are also being overridden. I don't know if that helps. My regex kungfu is inferior.

It would also appear that anything on the same lines as the brackets are matching other patterns.
