In the edit program on advanced terminal the syntax highlighting does not see an empty string ("") correctly. it sees it as a single quote to start a string. Example is attached

Has been bothering me for quite a while. But I thought it was already reported.

Block comments and block strings are not highlighted because the editor that comes with CC is line based. So if it finds a [[ it only highlights that line.

Which could be fixed with a simple boolean flag

Not quite, you need to know where the comment starts and where it ends. I have done this with re-indent, it was not hard to do. But to make it interactive, I have no clue how to go about that

You were right, after thinking about, a simple boolean should get the job done
