Steps to reproduce
Create a CommentTest.md note and paste the following:
**multi-line comment with multi line message:**
%% Text in line with comment start
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
Text in line with comment end %%
**inline comment inside multi-line comment:**
%%
line 1
line %% inline comment %% 2
line 3
%%
**multi-line comment inside multi-line comment:**
%%
line 1
line 2
line 3
start %% comment marker
Multi line comment
end %% comment marker
line 4
%%
**inline & multi-line comment inside multi-line comment:**
%%
line 1
line %% inline comment %% 2
line 3

Multi line comment
end %% comment marker
line 4

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes
Expected result
As implied by the syntax highlighting in reading / source mode (which shows the correct behaviour), the reading view, PDF exports etc. should display:
**multi-line comment with multi line message:**
**inline comment inside multi-line comment:**
inline comment
**multi-line comment inside multi-line comment:**
comment marker
Multi line comment
end
**inline & multi-line comment inside multi-line comment:**
inline comment comment marker
Multi line comment
end
Actual result
The begging and ending comment markers %% get bungled and non comment text gets removed while commented text gets displayed.
Reading view displays:
multi-line comment with multi line message:
inline comment inside multi-line comment:
inline comment %% 2
line 3
line 1
line 2
line 3
start %% comment marker
Multi line comment
end %% comment marker
line 4
line 1
line 2
line 3
start %% comment marker
Multi line comment
end %% comment marker
line 4
This is also the case for PDF exports as seen below:

Match the parser logic with the conditional hilighting logic of reading view.
