In Sublime Text, when we use code comment symbols to comment the code, we sometimes find that the text after the comment symbols still has color, even if they are within the comment block. This can lead to confusion, as comments should be ignored and should have no effect on syntax highlighting of the code. Let's take a look at the causes of this phenomenon and possible solutions.
Sublime Text is a powerful text editor that supports multiple programming languages, including PHP. It provides rich syntax highlighting features for highlighting different types of code elements in the editor. This makes the code more readable and helps developers better understand and debug the code.
However, when we use comment symbols (// or /* */) to comment out a piece of code in PHP code, Sublime Text may regard the text after the comment symbol as part of the code and retain its original color. This may be because the text after the comment symbol has a certain grammatical structure or format, causing Sublime Text to mistakenly regard it as part of the code. This may affect the readability and aesthetics of the code.
In order to solve this problem, we can try the following methods:
-
Check syntax definitions: Sublime Text uses syntax definition files (.sublime-syntax or .tmLanguage files) to determine different types of code elements and syntax rules. We can check the syntax definition file used to see if there are any rules or settings related to comments. If so, we can try to modify these rules or settings to ensure that the text after the annotation is not affected by them.
-
Switch syntax: If the text after the annotation still has color, we can try switching to a different syntax mode. In Sublime Text, we can change the syntax mode through the "View" option in the menu bar or using shortcut keys. Switching to another mode related to PHP syntax may solve this problem.

Using Plugins: Sublime Text has many plugins available to enhance its functionality and customization. We can search and try to install one
