Visible bug. I'm not an expert in highlighting, but I'll try to fix it for 6.5.

Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2013-04-08 12:11:24 UTC

The DTD highlighter does not recognize '--' comments at all.  See http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970917/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 for a definition.

I do not want to touch the 8 years unmaintained javacc-based grammar for DTD; rather a new lexer based on lexer APIs should be provided.

Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
