Hi Martin,
thanks for your answer!
In the end I think your best option right now is to give explicit line
numbers for <end> and <start>.
That is indeed what I currently do, I plugged that to vim's visual
selection with
vnoremap <leader>l :<c-u>exe '!git log -L'
line("'<").','.line("'>").':'.expand('%')<CR>
and it works great!
I was wondering if that was maybe an issue with the PHP regex, but with your
explanation I understand a bit more what the issue might be: The man
page you
are quoting seems to say that the regex can only work on a single line as
opposed to a code block (for probably very good reasons), which means
there is
no hope to include the phpdoc in the regex, or to fix this issue I suppose.
I also suppose the issue is the same for any other language that has
documentation above function declarations.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
