    Post by arjanbroeke »

    Product, version and build: PS Studio 2018 (5.5.150)
    32 or 64 bit version of product: 64-bit
    Operating system: Windows 10
    32 or 64 bit OS: 64-bit

    I've multiple block comments in a nested situation. but the color coding will fail and will stop at the wrong end marker #>

    Simply said, the comments tags are nested as follows (also see the screenprint)
    Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)
    1. <#
    2.   #
    3.   #
    4.   <#
    5.   #>
    6.   <#
    7.   #>
    8. #>

    You cannot nest multi-line comments in PowerShell. You can however use single line comments within a multi-line comment.
