Hi, the compiler doesn't like comments in comments in the dictionaries. It's useful to comment out a large chunk, to get the translation work until you've managed to solve some issue. And in such a large chunk of entries, you might have some comments e.g. describing the problem or just explaining something.
Unfortunately, the compiler complains until you've removed the comment tags. This is annoying, since the comment tags will have to be reintroduced when the problem is solved and the chunk is uncommented. Suggestion: Make it possible to have comments in comments. Either by making them legal inside the existing comment tags, like this: <!-- commented out because of some trouble <e lm="anm." a="PT"><i>anm.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="ang." a="PT"><i>ang.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="arr" a="PT"><i>arr</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="bet." a="PT"><i>bet.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <!-- possible conflict with xxx --> <e lm="bibl." a="PT"><i>bibl.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="bidr." a="PT"><i>bidr.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> end of commented out because of some trouble --> or maybe introducing some new comment tags for chunks of entries. Perhaps something like: <!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! commented out because of some trouble !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! e lm="anm." a="PT"><i>anm.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="ang." a="PT"><i>ang.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="arr" a="PT"><i>arr</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="bet." a="PT"><i>bet.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <!-- possible conflict with xxx --> <e lm="bibl." a="PT"><i>bibl.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> <e lm="bidr." a="PT"><i>bidr.</i><par n="t.ex.__abbr"/></e> end of commented out because of some trouble !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! end of commented out because of some trouble !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!> BTW my suggestion is inspired by Java: /**************** ******************/ Or actually: /* */ In Python you've got: " " " " " " Yours, Per Tunedal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
