@Sophie Yeah, I wish it wouldn't break block comment if inserted into them!

@Ronflaix looks like it is doable so long as there's no whitespace ahead on the image line

@Sophie Oh, weird. Can you run the code without a syntax error with that? Last time I tried I had one because the block comment was ended prematurely due to the image's header

@Ronflaix oh you're right, if I actually try to run that code it chokes. No block comment images for now I guess :(

@Sophie Also, given that the userdata is left as it uncommented, the function will be called during execution. It might be a good idea to poke a certain Zep to ask him for a comment-compatible alternative!

Imagine all those 3D math libraries with pictures annotating the code! Or bundling Math formulas rendered with LaTex or a cousin! :O

@Ronflaix ooh that would be cool!

poke @zep ❤
(I'm sure you're busy, just something to maybe note!)

@Sophie @Ronflaix So I almost tried for nested --[[]] commented for that reason, but it was such a can of worms, I /removed/ them from PICO-8 ._.

But for images in comments, Lua provides a cleaner but harder-to-know-about mechanism for nesting comments:

--[=[
--[[pod...]]
]=]

Works as long as the number of ='s match (can be any number of ='s)
