Hi, all!
i'm new to Geany, and trying to get used to it (in place of xemac), mainly for purposes of maintaining PHP and JS code (which emacs can't indent worth a damn).
i'm finding that when i document my code (which i always do!), geany is inserting an extra '*' at the start of each line. That is a documentation convention which i have never been able to sympathize with - it takes up more space and makes it very painful to reformat the text (or add to it, since we have to manually handle the word wrapping). i document A LOT, so i get a bit cranky when my tools get in my way when i'm trying to document.
Can i disable those extra stars? i find them truly painful.
Aside from that: Geany is really impressive. i especially like the etags import feature. BTW: can i tell the symbol browser to start collapsed instead of expanded? In C code, with lots of global functions, the auto-expand behaviour makes it more difficult to find non-function code (IMO).

If you add structural comments (phpdoc), the initial asterisk is mandatory.

i write doxygen, not phpdoc, and these stars are getting on my nerves. Every newline must be followed by two backspaces to get rid of them.

Found it:

Thank the gods!

Should that be "Thank the developers!", or are you saying that the developers of Geany = gods?

*ahem* Of *course* that's what i meant! (Thus the plural form of the word.)
It's a nice tool - i'm impressed. i especially like some of the IntelliJ-like features such as ctrl-click to jump to a function's definition. And the etags symbols support is great (i just wish it wouldn't expand automatically).
