Comment Formatter

The Comment Formatter extension provides additional formatting behavior for source code comments. The most prominent feature is the support for italicization, which can be configured for normal and documentation comments independently.

Another feature is fading out of documentation tags. When enabled, all tags within a documentation comment will be displayed semitransparent instead of opaque, which makes them less obtrusive and turns the focus back on the content.

Last but not least, the Comment Formatter extension allows you to style single-line and block comments individually.
