    [Highlight=VB] dodgyness

    Hi folks,

    I've noticed for a while that the VBCode tags don't handle colouring of comments too well. If you have any extra ' chars after the first, then the last one is counted as the start of the comment - and as we all know this is not the way it is done in VB itself.

    eg:
    VB Code:
    1. End    'This isn't very good coding style


    On top of this, I have noticed today that there is a problem if the final quote is inside double-quotes - it doesn't treat it as a comment at all, eg:

    VB Code:
    1. wrd.DisplayAlerts = 0 'do not show Word messages (such as "printing hasn't finished yet")
    from: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...71#post1365871


    Any chance of having it recified?
