Rewrap Revived

Rewrap Revived is a Visual Studio and VS Code extension that is used to hard-wrap code comments to a configured maximium line length. This is a fork of the unmaintained Rewrap extension by Steve Baker (@stkb).

The main Rewrap command is: Rewrap Comment / Text, by default bound to Alt+Q. With the cursor in a comment block, hit this to re-wrap the contents to the specified wrapping column.

Features

• Re-wrap comment blocks in many languages, with per-language settings.
• Smart handling of contents, including Java-/JS-/XMLDoc tags and code examples.
• Can select lines to wrap or multiple comments/paragraphs at once (even the whole document).
• Also works with Markdown documents, LaTeX or any kind of plain text file.

The contents of comments are usually parsed as markdown, so you can use lists, code samples (which are untouched) etc:

Installation

Rewrap Revived is available in both the Microsoft marketplace and the OpenVSX marketplace.

Install the pre-release version so you have access to the latest features, and so that if you encounter a new bug, you can fix it immediately on your machine by downgrading to the stable release. Then report it on github so it will be fixed before appearing in a stable release.
