   Of course, comments are a nuisance to write, ugly, and often out of date.
Scintilla has a 'visible' attribute on styles that allows you to hide these
annoyances and cursor over them quickly. It is also available as an
(undocumented!) notvisible attribute in SciTE:
style.ruby.1=fore:#007F00,$(font.comment),notvisible
   Unfortunately this does not remove the new lines and remnant whitespace
from comment sections.
