      Notepad++ 6.6.9 and 7.5.8 (current).
      Notepad++ has an issue with highlighting comments of Pascal language.
      I don’t know if this is really a standard or not but i am using compiler which accepts:
      (* Line1,
      Line2,
      Line3 )
      The above highlight correctly in NPP. { and } can also be used.
      But this one:
      ( Line1, (* some comment *)
      Line2,
      Line3 *)
      is wrongly displayed in NPP, it stops highlight after “comment *)”, and doesn’t recognize last *). You can use { and } with the same (bad) effect but I am not using { } normally.
      Can I somehow fix it on my own without recompiling NPP?
