Re: [Help-java2html] single line comments and newlines

[Robert Wetzel]

Hi again,

> Did this problem take place only for single line comments?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer:

  scanner.ll defines different 'states' for single line and
  multi line comments. Currently the following are defined:

    <multi-line-comment>  ::= "/*" { ... } "*/"

    <single-line-comment> ::= "//" { ... } "\n"

  This follows the definitions of the Java Language Specification,
  section 3.7 (Comments).

  Unfortunately, java2html handles these comments as a whole,
  adding the 'decorators' only before and after the comments.
  As the multi line comments do not end with a newline, they
  will be displayed (and rendered) correctly. Single line
  comments end with a newline, which is treated as a part of
  the comment. That's why the </span> was placed _after_ the
  newline. The patch exchanges the order of the end decoration
  and the newline for single line comments.


cheers,

  Robert.
