[Github-comments] [geany/geany] false continuation of comment following " \ " (#2715)

[RayAndrews56]

A certain Neil Hodgson seems to have looked at this but I have no idea what he's saying:

- **Comment**:

A simpler example is:
~~~bash
# comment \
echo "not a comment"
~~~
which displays `not a comment` when run with zsh or bash. 

There are separate elements in the zsh documentation for continuation and comments with no information on priority.

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Grammar.html#Quoting :
>  A character may be quoted (that is, made to stand for itself) by preceding it with a ‘\’. ‘\’ followed by a newline is ignored.

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Grammar.html#Comments :
> a word beginning with the third character of the histchars parameter (‘#’ by default) causes that word and all the following characters up to a newline to be ignored.

~~~zsh

function test2
{
# this is a comment\
is this a comment continued on the next line?
}
~~~

zsh treats the second line as code, but it highlights as a continuation of the comment.
