What is meta? ×  There is no syntax highlighting nor any ways to
emphasize code written in comments.  I have noticed that this is
one of the key factors leading users to misunderstand one
another.  I use the backticks (`) and % signs at the moment for
code that I write in comments.  Please, give us an option to
turn syntax highlighting on for comments. We cannot avoid the
fact that that some users decide to put code in their comments.
