When i place a script tag in an html document, and then write two forward slashes to comment out the following line, if i'll then type the "<" (Less-Than sign) character on that line, as:
<script> //<
</script>
it becomes red in the VS Code Editor, instead of being green as usual with comments on javascript code.
first I thought that the reason is because "<" character is illegally used in a script tag since this may indicate the starting of a closing-tag, but when I try it in other IDEs they don't give me any error, and I believe that they are right.
Now I realized that the same problem occurs even with the script closing-tag itself, if it is placed right after the two fwd slashes, as:
<script>
//</script>
in the latter scenario the "<" character of the closing-tag becomes red.
