Lex, Often I need to place /*..*/ or html <!--- ... ---> around selection. Addons plugin allow to define one letter only in beginning and in the end and finally doesn't work - just insert empty space before and after selection. May be I do something wrong? Regards

Hello,
In a html file, use of [CTRL]+[e], nicely add/remove <!-- --> around selection ! as you want !
I think that must only work for languages that do not have a line oriented comment configured.
But for php file only single line comment works '//' I don't understand how it works, maybe cause of mixed language use html/js/php, they share some functionnality.
In documentation [1] it is written you can specify comment_open and comment_close in filetypes.php, so i try as follow : comment_open=/* comment_close=*/
Don't work :(, it is still single line comment '//' So, I add a line with blank value for comment_single, as follow : comment_single= After reloading configuration, commenting a block, in a php file, will append html/xml style comment (<!-- -->) and removing it with keybinding not working, changing comment_open and comment_close in filetypes.html with : comment_open=/* comment_close=*/ Works for php file, but the problem is now with html file comment, it will use /* and */ and can't remove it with keybinding :(
So, is it possible to use comment bloc with php and html filetype in the same time ?
Geany only supports files as one language, it can't handle mixed languages like PHP in HTML so you can only have one comment form per filetype.
In fact the commenting code does not understand the language at all, it just applies the character sequences configured in the filetype as text, single line comments for preference (after all the menu items are "comment line") or open/close comments as a fallback.
