#2219 LexHTML - block comments break code folding in embedded JavaScript

[Arkadiusz MIchalski]

Report from: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5581 . Also apply to latest SciTE.
Code folding gets confused upon seeing block comments (/** … */) in embedded JavaScript.

Code for test:

<div>

    <script>

        /**
        */

    </script>

</div>

<p></p>

When we set fold.hypertext.comment=1 then using /** as opennig block comment will break folding. For above example it happend to block comment and also for script and div tags. If we start comment only with /* (or add space /* *) folding works fine.

It is checking only for SCE_HJ_COMMENT, not for SCE_HJ_COMMENTDOC which this is due to the "/**".

This can be fixed by updating line 1236 of LexHTML.cxx.

- } else if (((state == SCE_HPHP_COMMENT) || (state == SCE_HJ_COMMENT)) && foldComment && (ch == '*') && (chNext == '/')) {
+ } else if (((state == SCE_HPHP_COMMENT) || (state == SCE_HJ_COMMENT || state == SCE_HJ_COMMENTDOC)) && foldComment && (ch == '*') && (chNext == '/')) {
