Normally multiline comments can’t be nested, take PHP for example. The first
encounter of the closing sequence is taken as an end marker, no matter how many
other closing sequences follow. Therefore I guess the syntax highlighter is
correct by ending the comment in that particular place. You will probably end up
with a syntax error in your compiler / interpreter anyway.

But indeed maybe I’m missing a language that can treat comments like brackets
and nest them (why would you want to do that btw.?)

Greetings!
