Subject: bug#15006: 24.3; emacs manual comment-start-skip example grouping
Date: Fri, 02 Aug 2013 10:48:36 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mwp0x6hn.fsf@blah.blah> (raw)
In the emacs manual info node "(emacs)Options for Comments" an example
comment-start-skip is given
"\\(//+\\|/\\*+\\)\\s *"
If I understand the comment-start-skip docstring correctly a \(..\)
group is for extra distinguishing text preceding the comment. Should
that example be a shy group, or perhaps expanded out to ungroup like
vera-mode.el has?
"/\\*+ *\\|//+ *"
I also wondered whether the whitespace "\\s *" in the example was a
little too loose since it matches \n and leading whitespace of the next
line too. Does that matter to anything?
