[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: XML2.0: Comments (Was: Towards XML 2.0)
 I meant that if the <xml:comment> notation is accepted, it is likely that the IDE's will start to handle commenting/uncommenting in a satisfactory way (and described one such possible behaviour). I didn't mean that the IDE's at present are doing good commenting/uncommenting job whenever the commenting results in nested comments -- probably because there isn't enough information to do the uncommenting correctly. However, it seems to me that the <xml:comment> mechanism could provide sufficient information to reverse the commenting. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 11:25 AM, Pete Cordell <petexmldev@codalogic.com> wrote: > Original Message From: "Dimitre Novatchev" >> >> Who writes XML by hand today?
