Propeller Tool - Documentation Compile Error?

Using Ver 1.3

I get the following error when selecting the 'Documentation' Radio button on the top of the IDE:

I discovered this after changing the comment sections at the top of each PUB to comment blocks {} from comment lines '.

Not sure what the syntax is for how to use the Documentation feature of the IDE. I wanted more comments to show up, thus the switch to blocks. Also in the comments I used items from the character chart, perhaps a special character isn't supported by the documentation feature? Here is an example of a PUB that I have formatted comments in:

Finally, is there a manual on the Propeller Tool IDE that I may have missed along the way?

Thanks

    I think all of your answers reside under part of the Help section in the Prop Tool. Go to Help -> Propeller Help (F1) -> Using the Propeller Tool

    I read that and found many wonderful insights :) including the elusive Spin Programming Tutorial

    Make sure all special characters go inside the {{ block }}. You have some lines after the closing braces.

    Oh, find and replace error on my part. When I removed the ' for the line blocks I didn't consider where the ending }} landed. Long day I guess.

    Thanks for the quick catch!!
