Thanks to Alan I can at least create a work-around by changing to
/*
* ****
*
* Sample…
*
* ****
*/
I found the function "c-lineup-C-comments" to complicated for me to quickly modify.
I would actually like to hear from those who would like a reasonable modification to the logic as follows:
"If the line following the comment open contains all the same "non-alpha-numeric" character then that becomes the controlling line"
That would mean that"
/*
** Text
*/
Continues to work as before but
/*
**
** Text
**
*/
Stays indented.
Does anybody else have a strong opinion about this?
