Cannot have newline in a delimiter

[lukelbd]

In RST, the proper way to comment out lines is by prefixing them with a .. followed by a newline and two spaces:

..
  This is a comment.
  It will not appear in the document.

The default NERDComment behavior just prefixes this with .., i.e.

.. This *might* be a comment.

but this behavior is discouraged, since RST will "interpret" the comment if it starts with a particular keyword.

I tried setting

let g:NERDCustomDelimiters = {'rst': {'left': "..\n  "}}

but that ends up replacing the newline with a null character ^@.

Is there a way to get NERDCommenter to respect delimiters with newline characters / to propertly comment out RST text?

I'm sorry I've been out of town until for a while. That being said I don't actually know the answer to this. You probably want to configure the "sexy" comment style instead of the regular one because this is going to be a multi-line pattern issue, but I'm not sure exactly what it should be configured too...

If anybody has suggestions or wants to work on this I'd be happy to review a PR that setup better handling for RST comments!
