The Better Comments extension will help you create more human-friendly comments in your code.
With this extension, you will be able to categorise your annotations into:
- Alerts
- Queries
- TODOs
- Highlights
- Commented out code can also be styled to make it clear the code shouldn't be there
- Any other comment styles you'd like can be specified in the settings
Configuration
This extension can be configured in User Settings or Workspace settings.
"better-comments.multilineComments": true
This setting will control whether multiline comments are styled using the annotation tags.
When false, multiline comments will be presented without decoration.
"better-comments.highlightPlainText": false
This setting will control whether comments in a plain text file are styled using the annotation tags.
When true, the tags (defaults: ! * ? //) will be detected if they're the first character on a line.
better-comments.tags
The tags are the characters or sequences used to mark a comment for decoration.
The default 5 can be modifed to change the colors, and more can be added.
