In fact, `multiComment "/*" "*/" NotNestable` *is* implemented like that! It is

very simple, but it does not allow you to nest comments like this:

Languages like Elm allow you to nest multi-line comments, but your parser needs

detect if there is another one inside it! And then you have to make sure all

character may take two slots. So in JavaScript, `'abc'.length === 3` but

`'🙈🙉🙊'.length === 6`. Try it out! And since Elm runs in JavaScript, the offset

moves by those rules.

|

|

In the Elm compiler, I track the start and end position of every expression

like this:

|

type alias Located a =

{ start : (Int, Int)

|

|

|= getPosition

So if there is a problem during type inference, I use this saved position

information to underline the exact problem!
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Tabs count as one character, so if you are parsing something like
|
||||
Python, I recommend sorting that out *after* parsing. So if I wanted the `^^^^`
|
||||
underline like in Elm, I would find the `row` in the source code and do
|
||||
something like this:

||||
|

makeUnderline : String -> Int -> Int -> String

makeUnderline row minCol maxCol =

if minCol <= col && col <= maxCol then

else if char == '\\t' then
|

'\\t'
|

else
|
||||
' '
|
||||
|

So it would preserve any tabs from the source line. There are tons of other
|
||||
ways to do this though. The point is just that you handle the tabs after
|
||||
parsing but before anyone looks at the numbers in a context where tabs may

equal 2, 4, or 8.

important! It can succeed without consuming any characters, so if it were the

first option, it would always succeed and bypass the others! (Same is true of

`chompWhile` in `js`.) This possibility of success without consumption is also

move on. This is helpful for people who want to parse things like `40px` or
