Multiline comments in Inno Setup Pascal Script

According to here it states:

#Comments The multiline comments are enclosed within curly brackets and asterisks as (* ... *). Pascal allows single-line comment enclosed within curly brackets { ... }.

(* This is a multi-line comments
   and it will span multiple lines. *)

{ This is a single line comment in pascal }

I had been using { ... } with multiple lines. It seems OK in Inno Setup Code section. But is it bad syntax?

Solution

  • That article is wrong. Both (* ... *) and { ... } are multi-line comments and they are equivalent.

    A single line comment in Pascal (Script) starts with //:

    // Single line comment
