RE: Resetting the comment character(s)...in Notepad++ for Windows Vista

[Tim Rueth]

Hm-mm.  I couldn't find #2906082 in the GNU Octave Repository.  And the
bug-octave archives (https://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/)
doesn't allow me to search on bug #.  Apparently I'm looking in the wrong
place.

I don't mind moving to a new editor.  Is there a preferred one for Windows
Vista?  Also, does anyone use a workspace-environment application like
Matlab has (e.g., shows your variables in one window, your code in another,
etc.) that works for Octave in Vista?

Thanks,

--Tim

Apparently notepad++ does not support matlab/octave block comments at all.
See notepad++'s filed bug SF # 2906082

It seems that block comments for matlab/octave are not supported by
scintilla (the underlying engine).
So sorry, can't offer you a solution for notepad++.
You can switch to a different text editor, though.
