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

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.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.
