You may use the [# #] block for longer comments

This shouldn't be a problem, because as long as the tags are inside a perl
block they should be removed by Embperl, before the perl code is compiled

If the removeing of tags doesn't work as you expect, please send me an
example of what you type, what StarOffice creates out of it and what errors
you get.

Embperl and StarOffice problem

1999-11-02 Thread claudio.garcia


I am currently using the StarOffice HTML editor to edit my Embperl programs. The 
problem I have is that it generates HTML that separates lines exceeding 80 characters 
with a newline. This 'readability' feature has the effect of separating my perl 
comments into two lines, which creates syntax errors on my perl code because the HTML 
tag remover in Embperl will leave the extra newlines in place, making the right end of 
my comment lines appear as barewords.

My comment lines are shorter than 80 chars, but the HTML generator is stupid and will 
always precede them with long useless tags.

I'm using Embperl 1.2b7. Would this be a bug in Embperl, or has the tag remover been 
kept simple for performance reasons?
 
Thanks,

Claudio.
