Display multi-line comments better, from scripts, in the output window.

[rdstern]

@lloyddewit and @N-thony Happy New Year both. I have been trying to improve the help file in R-Instat and this has led me to run the recent script from the new script directory in the R-Instat library.

It has given rise to a small(?) possibly general problem in the presentation of scripts in the output window. I think it has always been there, but perhaps it is a recent regression. It is the aspect that a multiline comment displays as a effectively a single line in the output window. Here is the beginning of a script from the agridat package, that I get to from the Insert button and Library. It is gomez nitrogen:

### Name: gomez.nitrogen
### Title: Soil nitrogen at three times for eight fertilizer treatments
### Aliases: gomez.nitrogen
### Keywords: datasets

### ** Examples


library(agridat)

In the output window it looks like this:

### Name: gomez.nitrogen### Title: Soil nitrogen at three times for eight fertilizer treatments### Aliases: gomez.nitrogen### Keywords: datasets### ** Examples

While examining issues on comments in scripts I am also reminded of issue #8568. That's a challenge for @N-thony or perhaps to0 be allocated?

@rdstern, I have tried to reproduce the about and it seems fine on my side in the output window

@N-thony that's great, and half-solves the problem - see below:

So when I start, I am not displaying R-commands in the output window. Then I have the problem mentioned. I then switched to display the commands and the problem goes away - as you say.

Is it easy to display the comments nicely in the output window when not displaying commands? If not, then I can live with that, and we can close the issue.

I also note we have the same problem in the Insert dialog. When there is a library code it displays without sensible line feeds. If you are able to solve the problem in the output window, would the same solution work there too?
