The recommended way is (nth 8 (syntax-ppss)) Whether "/<point>*" is inside the comment or not is very debatable, and luckily it rarely matters. So if/when it matters and syntax-ppss's answer isn't the one we need, then we can discuss the better replacement for that specific case, but the specifics will matter then. Stefan
