Octave used to accept multiple line comments in command window as matlab
always does.   The example below shows the error when the multiple line
comments are grouped with other statement/command.  Thanks.  


for ii=1:1
%{        
%} 
end 

>> for ii=1:1
%{
%}
>> end
error: parse error:

  syntax error

>>> end
      ^
>>
