A Visual Studio extension that shows emphasis in your comments.
Sick of boring comments in your code? This extension will highlight words and phrases that you add emphasis to so that they stand out.
Three types of emphasis are supported:
| Type | Character | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | Asterisk ( * ) | This *is bold*. |
| Italic | Underscore ( _ ) | _This is italic_. |
Code |
Backtick ( ` ) | This is `code`. |
You can even nest the different types of emphasis.
Works in all language that Visual Studio highlights comments in, including:
- C#
- VB.NET
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
- CoffeeScript
- SQL
- XML
- HTML
- CSS
- PowerShell
- and many more!
If you're not happy with the colors, you can change this via Visual Studio's Fonts and Colors options. Just look for these display items:
- Comment - Bold Span
- Comment - Bold, Code Span
- Comment - Bold, Italic Span
- Comment - Bold, Italic, Code Span
- Comment - Code Span
- Comment - Italic Span
- Comment - Italic, Code Span
Note: The background color of emphasized code spans is always partially transparent.
Emphasized phrases that span multiple lines are not currently supported.
