Take a look at the code sample I posted to this thread. All the lines starting with #include" apear on one line and half of the program is grey.

It's a bug. To quote MKH's sig, "Oh, so you've never written buggy software?!"

The simple workaround is to insert an extra newline, ie type this in your post instead:


[source]
#include <header>

#include <header>

// etc...
[/source]

That shows up like so:

    
#include <header>

#include <header>

// etc...

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

}

another test

      
/* 123/345
 *
 */


#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{
        printf("hello!\n");
        return 0;
}

I believe it is to do with only allowing one comment block

  
#include <f00>


/* test */

#incldue <moref00>


/*
 * Test 2
 */


int main (void)
{
   /* 
    return 1;
    */
   return 0;
}

It comments everything between the first /* and the last */

The previous example shows it pretty clearly
