Better Comments

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

Annotated code

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.

"better-comments.tags": [
  {
    "tag": "!",
    "color": "#FF2D00",
    "strikethrough": false,
    "backgroundColor": "transparent"
  },
  {
    "tag": "?",
    "color": "#3498DB",
    "strikethrough": false,
    "backgroundColor": "transparent"
  },
  {
    "tag": "//",
    "color": "#474747",
    "strikethrough": true,
    "backgroundColor": "transparent"
  },
  {
    "tag": "todo",
    "color": "#FF8C00",
    "strikethrough": false,
    "backgroundColor": "transparent"
  },
  {
    "tag": "*",
    "color": "#98C379",
    "strikethrough": false,
    "backgroundColor": "transparent"
  }
