Re: [basex-talk] Failure with comment in editor when commenting out a regex

Editor/GUI warns, that: "no expression allowed in library module" and places error marker at the two slashes // after the :)( in the regex.

I’m being presented with the following error message:

[XPST0003] Invalid value, simple expression expected.

The error message is correct, because your comment already ends at line 7, column 37:

.... ?#]+):)

Please note that characters within a comment will never be parsed, as a shorter (invalid) query may demonstrate:

(: ':)' :) 123

I’m not sure how you got this "no expression allowed in library module" error message. Could you possibly provide us a step-by-step example?
