I finally figured out some kind of way to do multiline comments.

Code:

macro comment [args] {
local useless
macro useless args
}

It's pretty simple, and works kind of like how Pascal comments do. So now you could do:

Code:

comment { 
Something here
Or code not used
It works!
}

All it does is make a local macro, FASM doesn't check the code inside macros until they're used.

That's what I need Smile

It's brilliant in it's simplicity (just like FASM)

There is an older solution, using the (then newly introduced) fix directive by Joshua:

Cool, you could also do

Code:

comment fix macro comment {
endcom fix }

Which would make it work like

Code:

comment
Comments here
......
endcom

Hmm...this fix directive is powerful...if you're really don't want to type much you could just do

Code:

.. fix macro comment {
... fix }

To comment it's just like

Code:

..
Comment
Here
sadasdasd
...

Or use basically any symbol that's not reserved.

hmm... That would be nice if there would be some documentation about built-in macros (separatly from manual, which is only about compiler). Forum is nice place for this, but those macros, which are within the fasm package (e.g. invoke), should be documented and now macros like comment when it will apear in fasm package will be documented as well.
I can't do this. My english (and fasm using skills) are to weak Sad
