Enable Code Folding for Comment Block (/* */)

[gzmorgan0]

Currently, code folding is not supported for messages, platforms, user-defined functions, and comments.  Instead of a jmpkeyword.jsl option, a JSL advanced option to Collapse All Comment Blocks would be a very nice to have.

I think this is a good Idea.

I would think additionally about code folding assignments, e.g. a string covering several lines, or adding scripts to tables (that have many lines). Usually I help myself adding an expression and evaluating it, this makes the code much better readable. See examples.

sql_string =
"
select
*
from
dual
";

dtc << new script(
	"__newscript__", 
Names default to here(1);
wait(1);
wait(1);
);

We're working on this for JMP 16.

JMP 16 now supports code-folding for multiline comments using /*  */

This is very cool.  Extensive comment blocks, those that apply context, assumptions, pseudo-code and references can be quite useful for training and just updating and testing old programs.  Thank you JMP developers!!
