If you write your multiline comments like this it will work:

This is also the common way of writing multi line comments in Lua. Refer to this page on lexical conventions in Lua: [Programming in Lua : 1.3](https://www.lua.org/pil/1.3.html)

And by the way, it works in the new editor, so I doubt that we will fix this in the old editor:
