Colorful Comments

The Colorful Comments Extension will help you create more human-friendly comments in your code.
With this Extension, you will be able to categorise your cody by special colour into:

• Red (!)
• Blue (?)
• Green (*)
• Yellow (^)
• Pink (&)
• Purple (~)
• Mustard (todo)
• Grey (//)
• 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.

Configurations

This extension can be configured in User Settings or Workspace settings.

"colorful-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.

"colorful-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.

colorful-comments.tags
The tags are the characters or sequences used to mark a comment for decoration. The default 7 can be modifed to change the colors, and more can be added.
