Description OlafLostViking 2017-02-27 14:34:39 UTC 
Using angle brackets inside of doxygen comments breaks the syntax highlighting. After the opening <, the highlighting changes and only gets back to "comment mode" after the closing > of _another_ tag.

Example:

/**
 * Lorem <ipsum> dolor <sit> amet.
 */

It's probably related to the old bug #155100 .

This is a problem in KF5::SyntaxHighlighting. Moving.
Comment 2 Jonathan Poelen 2017-06-01 00:30:54 UTC 
I suggest to replace

String="&lt;\/?[\w0-9._:-@]+"

with

String="&lt;\/?[-\w0-9._:@]+"


Implemented here:
