How do I define a comment to begin with an asterisk as the first character on a line (and which ends with EOL), but it is an arithmetic multiplication operator anywhere else.
Is there a way to set the asterisk to be a comment if it's the first character without having it turn arithmetic statements into comments?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In order tu support this in UDL 2.X you will have to define two separate line comments: star character and NOTE string should be defined as standard line comments, with "Allow preceding whitespace" option ticked.
The double ampersand "&&" string should be defined as a Delimiter where double ampersand starts a delimiter and special constant ((EOL)) closes it.
See example 2, from documentation site: http://udl20.weebly.com/delimiters.html

Loreia
