I think the current regexp in javascript.lang matches too much: regexp = '/(\\.|[^\\/])+/[gim]*(?![*/])' This matches /* */ comments that do not span multiple lines. (Note that /* */ comments that do span multiple lines are highlighted correctly as comments.) I think this would fix the problem: regexp = '/(\\.|[^*\\/])(\\.|[^\\/])*/[gim]*(?![*/])' Does that seem reasonable? (aside from its increasing ugliness)
