This is an excellent contribution! (which I was too late discovering)
Many thanks for it.

I've been using UltraEdit for my coding... (with a modified lua wordfile)
It supports code formatting, autocomplete and code folding.
It has the same "problem" distinguishing between line and block comments though, which
I overcame by adopting this coding practice:
Instead of using -- for the line comment , I'm using ---
That keeps it readable and familiar to the eye, is still a valid lua comment and provides for
easy updating of existing lua files (some of which are huge) by just doing a mass search
replace of -- with --- and then of ---[[ with --[[
(I've put this in an UltraEdit macro actually so bringing new files in is 1-click affair)

I'll give this a try too though,
thx again
