Block comment higlighting (with a "|")

[alenkis]

Hi!

I've noticed that comments like this

--| ...
foo x = y

fail to properly hightlight as comments, and what I see is this:

I've tried to fix this on my end by adding

(add-hook 'purescript-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (font-lock-add-keywords nil
                                    '(("--|.*" . font-lock-comment-face)))))

But this doesn't fully solve the problem, as ocassionally keywords appear in the comment line, which somehow breaks the comment highlighting 🤷‍♂️

Is this supported? Any advice on how to fix it?
Thanks!

Sorry unfortunately I have no clue :D

My hope is that at some point we can switch over to tree-sitter based highlighting. If you do manage to figure it out, I'd be happy to accept a PR

Haven't looked at it, but I hope it's a bit less of a problem for the latest master, because some keywords were made top-level only, and also default was removed (as it isn't a thing in PS), which might be a frequent word in comments as well.
