Shocco doesn't understand the code inside here documents

[pablox-cl]

I've been using shocco for a while and found that if I have something like:

cat << EOF >> somefile.sh
# I'm a comment
hello I'm a here document
EOF

Results in:

cat << EOF >> somefile.sh
# DIVIDER
hello I'm a here document
EOF

The workaround of course is use something like #/.

Yeah, this is a longstanding issue. I'm not sure there's much we can easily do about it with the current system. Something like docco or rocco might handle this a bit better.

Well, I'm using:

cat << EOF >> somefile.sh
#/ I'm a comment
hello I'm a here document
EOF

...as a workaround. It's not specially beautiful, but it is functional, and until now it seems to work fine.

Sorry, I don't understand what this have to do with docco/rocco... can they parse shell files?

Yeah I believe they support anything that pygments supports. Their heredoc handling may be a bit better since they have a more rich set of string parsing utilities at their disposal is all I was thinking.

Oh, ok. I understand. As I said, I can work with my workaround, isn't that terrible.
