[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Incorrect comment delimiter (comment_single) in filetypes.batch file (Windows batch) (#1912)

[dyura]

I am seriously doubting that "REM actually executes the command next to it, just disabling it's output." 
Does it mean that  "rem del file" will silently delete the file?  :) 
:: (an empty label) is just an unofficial workaround. It was a long story regarding performance issues  with REM. But it happened in old Windowses ,probably in 9X. Then "::" workaround came up. :: is also faster to type. I am using it, too, when, poor me, I am coding windows batches.  But, editors should use REM\s
