Comments?

[241m]

Hello all!

How about adding comment lines in the [x]it spec? Lines that are ignored by any tools like parsers or editors. My main reason for suggesting this is for using vim modelines.

Something like:

# This is a comment
# It means nothing

TODO
[ ] Line 1
[ ] Line 2

# vim: filetype=xit:

As per the current spec, syntax highlighters parsers (at least tree-sitter-xit) treat them as title lines.

Might be similar/related to #10

Hi! I have the same problem and I resolve it by editing the plugin's script.

I added the next line to your ~/.vim/pack/3rd/start/vim-xit/syntax/xit.vim

syn region xitComment start="\/\/" end="$" contained
hi def link xitComment Comment 

And add this new region (xitComment) to all regions that could contained comment.
For example in xitCheckboxOpenDesc:

syn region xitCheckboxOpenDesc start="." end=/\v(\[|^[a-zA-Z0-9])/me=e-1 contained contains=xitTag,xitDueDate,xitComment

By the way I'm not an expert in the vim scripting (this is the first problem I have solved with vimscript) so be aware :)

Hope it'll help
