Jump to PostHi _neo_!
Just to be sure, can you tell us what language you're working with? There are a couple of ways this might be accomplished, but I wanted to be sure I'm testing with the correct base syntax file first.
Thanks!

Jump to PostHmm... I wonder if you can do it like it's done in the lua.syntax file?
There's a 'keyword' line under 'context default' that looks like this:
keyword -- brownThere is also a separate section similar to the comment line that you have that looks like this:
On mc internal editor's syntax file can't contain more than one 'context' tag which starts with the same symbols. Therefore I should use regular expression in this situation. I've already tried this syntax:
context -- \[\n|--\] brown
spellcheckAnybody know what reg-exp should I use?
Help, please...
I have not solved my problem yet...

Hi Gromit. Thank you for response.
I've tried do like lua's syntax file, but it doesn't solve my problem.
Does anybody have other ideas?
Here is example of one line comments:
code --start of one line comment, which ends with carriage-return
code --start of one line comment, which ends with '--' symbols -- continue code
