Does that mean that the following section in

Many languages group statements by enclosing them in block
delimiters — { … } in C-family languages, . These keys
specify the opening and closing tokens for such blocks. BBEdit
detects blocks (even nested ones) and makes it possible to fold them.
Is wrong?
Though that statement is correct _per se_, please note from the
section heading above:

## Structural Elements ##
The simple-string keys in this section guide BBEdit in identifying
functions for the function pop-up, and statement blocks for folding.

that the 'statement blocks' in question belong to _functions_
rather than comments. :-)
Next:
So I have to persuade it to see these blocks as functions with
no function names (so as not to try and index them)?
I strongly recommend against misusing the statement block
mechanics to interpret comments.
(NB: As an aside, we do already have a request open to enable
folding for block comments in codeless language modules, and I
encourage anyone who's interested in making use of same to write
to <[email protected]>.)
Clearly it is different for the coded language modules, which
collapse block comments quite happily.
Yes; code-based language modules may define fold ranges as they
see fit.
