Make Code Comments Pretty with CommentReflower

  • Article

Ian wrote a cool VS 2003 plugin that makes comments in code more readable. From the Site:

"Comment Reflower is a Visual Studio .NET 2003 Plugin to reflow the text in comments in source files to have even word wrapping. It does more than simply just wrapping all text in comment blocks. It attempts to recognise and wrap appropriately:

  • bullet points and doxygen tags
  • lines that should never be reflowed
  • XML preformat (<pre>) blocks
  • HTML break (<BR>) commands

The results are best seen by example. ExampleFile.cpp is a sample file before Comment Reflower has been applied, ExampleFileAfter.cpp is the much neater and more readable result. "
