Re: What is a token
Mark Wieder, I think what we will have to do when you encounter an open block comment that is not followed by a close block comment in a single line is toggle a variable to true, and check each subsequent line for a close block comment, formatting everything in between, then toggling the variable to false. I’ll go ahead and try an implement that and send you a fix. If the code is on Github, I’ll submit there.

No you shouldn't as it isn't a bug :) The 'token' chunk is a wrapper around the internal routine the engine uses to divide a script text up into tokens which are then parsed. This routine also does the 'skipping' over of whitespace and comments. As '/*' is part of a comment it is ignored, just like any spaces in between actual tokens. For example: put token 2 of "/* this is a comment */ put x into y" Will put 'x' because the only 'tokens' in that string are 'put', 'x', 'into' and 'y'. If you want to see if a line starts with a multi-line comment then you should do: if word 1 of tLine begins with "/*" then ...
