Or Outf*kt Express, as we adherents of the Eudora religion sometimes call it.
We get a similar problem in word processors that ATtempt to
AUtomatically COrrect DOubled CApital LEtters. Sometimes we *want*
double capitals: the plural of CD, for example, which the program
miscorrects to Cds with robotic diligence.
What do I do? Type CD<space>s, then delete the space. The conversions
are never retroactive, and as far as the WP program is concerned,
there never was a doubled capital involved.
So in this case, couldn't you write //<space> plus all the commands,
then, at the very end, remove the spaces?
And if you select all and make the Properties plain text, does that help?
