Comments Cobol

[Luigi Rossi]

Hello,
I noticed that the color of a comment when you set the Cobol language does not work well. Such as whether the comment is * the entire row is colored in green, otherwise it remains black:
example:
* Comment ok
abcdef * ko comment, is not green.

does anyone know how risovere?

thank you

ie if the asterisk in position 7 is preceded by six bytes (position 1-6) the comment is not colored green

does anyone know how risovere?

thank you

@Luigi-Rossi

seems it works only if 5 bytes, than a space and then the asteriks.
Nevertheless, this is an lexer specific issue and is handled by scintilla.

hello,

how can I do to install the libraries of Scintilla to correctly view the comments Cobol?
how should I do?
thanks

@Federico-Barbolan

scintilla is part of notepad++, there is nothing to configure.
What problem/issue did you discover?

I noticed that the comments do not work when correttament from column 1 to column 6 is a tag and after the column 7 is an asterisk (*); while it works correctly then if the asterisk is in position 7 or if the previous tag is from position 1 to 5:
an example follows:

  * THE COMMENT IS CORRECTLY COLORED IN GREEN

ABCDE * THE COMMENT IS CORRECTLY COLORED IN GREEN
ABCDEF* THE COMMENT IS NOT CORRECTLY COLORED IN GREEN

how we can intervene on the Scintilla libraries to solve the problem?
thanks
