ParseComments system parameter

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.

Comment parsing is turned on by default. A system parameter ParseComments is provided, which allows comment parsing to be turned off or on according to whether its boolean value is false or true respectively. This switch is provided to enforce strict compatibility with [RB2], but will rarely be required in practice.

If comment parsing is turned off then the Harlequin RIP built-in comment-parsing procedures will not be executed, so for example, automatic prep loading will no longer work.

To turn comment parsing off, use this code:

<< /ParseComments false /Password 0 >> setsystemparams

Do not attempt to use this code in a page feature or embedded in a job; system parameters are persistent.
