I can write a simple package with a single line of code written in
StandardForm, so the 1/10 term is written 1 on top of 10...
test := Module[(x = 1/10, (* now is the time *) y = 2}, x]
Using StandardForm and 2D mathematical typesetting, it works fine in
the notebook. Save it as a package and load it in, and I get a slew of
error messages...
\!\(InputForm\`Syntax::"sntxb" :
"Expression cannot begin with etc....
This is KILLING me! If the Front End has a bug in it, then make
comments illegal. If comments are OK, then fix the bug! I (am trying
to) use text, mathematical typesetting, and comments to provide a best
product to my customer. While text is great, there is certainly a time
and a place for comments within the code.
Does anyone have some sort of add-in such that the autopackage
function converts all cells to input form first? Or reconverts to
StandardForm? I don't need to carry any of the comments or formatting
into the *.m file, and prefer that none of it did. Wolfram, do you
guys have anything like this?
Why hasn't this been fixed?
