I am playing with some old code which assumes TP-like handling of nested comments: i.e. there is only one level of nested comments, the first comment limiter closes a comment. However, Lazarus handles comments like FPC: it counts the nesting level and does syntax highlighting accordingly. Is there any option I am missing so I get correct syntax highlighting for TP-like nested comment handling?

Here this is highlighted and parsed correctly:
{$mode tp}
{ { }
begin
end.How do you tell Lazarus that the unit is tp mode?

Well, only in the Project options because I didn't want to modify the source, this is why I asked how to switch the behavior (I found out I can do this by changing the highlighter to delphi).
BTW: {$mode iso/extpas} do not change the behavior either, only $mode tp does.
