Comment:

 I have a workaround. Just before the close comment tag, put ''another''
 open comment tag. That second open comment tag will be commented out, but
 it forces the close tag to be recognized and not be reformatted as an en-
 dash.

 Example that fails:
 <!-- <b> text </b> -->

 Example that works:
 <!-- <b> text </b> <!-- -->

 In other words, if you have comments that enclose other tags, just make
 sure the ''last'' tag is another open comment tag.
