FUNCTION
The comment functions have been completely rewritten to improve
control of how the comments look. With these functions it should be
a bit easier to keep your code well commented :)
Key-bindings: <amiga ;> InsertComment
<amiga :> LineComment
The InsertComment function is a copy-cat of the Emacs "indent-for-comment"
function. The variable "comment_start_skip" is a regular expression
describing how to find a comment on the line. It must therefore match
the string you put in "comment_start". This variable and "comment_end"
describe how the comment looks.
The default values are:
comment_start_skip : "//\\*+ " - a / followed by one or more *'s and a
space.
comment_start : "/* "
comment_end : " */"
These give you the standard C comment style (/*<comment>*/).
I personally use these values:
comment_start_skip : "////+ " - two or more /'s, followed by a space.
comment_start : "// "
comment_end : "" (empty)
Which gives me C++/FPL comment style (// <comment>EOL).
Activating this function on a line which already has a comment, will
try to indent the comment to the correct "comment_column" and place
the cursor after the string matching comment_start_skip.
The LineComment function gives you an easy way of (visually) splitting the
source code into function/routine "areas". When invoking this function
you will be asked for a describing text, which will be right justified
in the comment block. Example:
//»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» This comment is created by LineComment ««
The width of the comment block may be controlled with the "wall_right"
variable. The appearance of the line comment is defined by the three
variables below. Their default values are also listed:
line_comment_start : "//"
line_comment_body : "»" (This variable must be a single character!)
line_comment_end : "««"
An empty string cancels the operation (as does the Cancel gadget :)
You may change the variables by activating the function CommentModePrefs(),
which should also be accessible in the menu:
Customizing->Program->CommentMode
You should be aware of the fact that other minor modes may change the
settings of this mode. Thereby the comment strings associated with each
mode (read "type of text") are configurable in the appropriate minor mode's
preference window (e.g. CMode may set the strings to something like the
ones described in this document whereas the AsmMode would set the strings
appropriate to assembler conventions).
HISTORY (REV)
15.06.95 (2) Made into a minor mode (called CommentMode). You should update
your User.FPL, and make sure that the major modes you use
enable CommentMode if needed. Check out the FMC documentation.
02.03.95 (1) Put CommentPrefs in the menu.
26.02.95 (0) Rewritten from scratch. Much better commenting possible!
05.11.94 (2) Added right_wall constructor.
23.10.94 (1) ReadInfo("linelength") -> ReadInfo("line_length")
09.10.94 (0) Initial revision
BUGS
Nah, not today anyway :)
IDEAS
Kill comment.
Wrapped comment (continue writing on next line).
