Comments in Extension Examples

Authoring Inform 7
1

I’ve produced an extension (yay) but with the examples, comments don’t appear in either the Documentation or after it’s been pasted over.

Is it just me, or can anyone reproduce this? Should I report it as a bug?

Cheers,
Roger

WI 25.10 says:

Note that text in square brackets should be avoided in the documentation, because that’s taken as being comment matter on the extension, and omitted.

You could suggest a different behavior at uservoice though.

Edit: removed stray space

There’s a related request at uservoice already:

Yeah, this bugged me too when I wrote a couple of extensions. It seems quite arbitrary for them to have done it this way, as well as a bit annoying for extension authors.

Thanks everyone – I’ll throw my vote in at uservoice and hope for the best.
