About the Text to Code Comment

Paste text and get it back as a properly formatted comment in thirteen styles, wrapped to a column, indented to match where it is going, and with a banner option for a section header. It works in reverse too, stripping the markers back off.

It sounds like a small thing, and it is — right up until you are pasting a licence header into forty files, or reformatting a paragraph of explanation that has drifted past column 120 and now wraps badly in everyone’s editor. The wrapping never breaks a word in half, the indentation is applied to every line including the markers, and the reverse direction is the quickest way to lift a commented-out block back into live code.

Key features of the Text to Code Comment

Thirteen styles

Every common line and block form, plus JSDoc, Python docstrings, Ruby =begin and Lua long comments.

Wrapping that respects words

Text is broken at spaces to the column you choose, with the marker width counted in.

Banner mode

A ruled box for a section header, optionally centred.

Indentation applied throughout

So the block drops into a nested scope already aligned.

Reverse direction

Strips markers, leading asterisks and the indentation they came with, leaving the text.

Match whatever the file already uses — 80 and 100 are the usual choices, 120 in codebases with wide monitors in mind. A comment that wraps differently from the code around it is what people notice.
