Hi Travis,
There are a few issues with your module.
1. BBEdit reports an error in your module
Menu BBEdit > Folders > Logs
Check
~/Library/Containers/com.barebones.bbedit/Data/Library/Logs/BBEdit/Language
Module Errors.log
================================================================================
2022-09-15 10:30:24.678: Startup
The following problem(s) were encountered while loading the
language module at ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language
Modules/foldingtext.plist:
The Comment Pattern was invalid (missing closing parenthesis
(error 112114) at offset 224 in pattern).
The reported problems will prevent the language module from loading.
This is due to the '#' characters not being escaped in '(?s:^#.*?#$)'
when using the (?x) modifier. Should be '(?s:^\#.*?\#$)' .
2. Not sure if Codeless Language Modules will do Comment Pattern folding.
You could use Function Pattern folding instead.
