<h1>Commenting</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>When
|
||
|
|
programming, it is often useful to comment (adding certain tags
|
||
|
|
around or in front of text to mark it is non-code) or uncomment
|
||
|
|
(large) section of text. Notepad++ allows to add two types of
|
||
|
|
comments:
|
||
|
|
<br><ul><li>block
|
||
|
|
comments, which means adding a special tag in front of each line of
|
||
|
|
(selected) text.
|
||
|
|
</li><li>stream
|
||
|
|
comments, which means putting special tags around the selected text.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Notepad++
|
||
|
|
can also remove block comments from text, or toggle them (adding them
|
||
|
|
where absent and removing them where present). These options are
|
||
|
|
available from the <span class="menu_item">Edit</span> menu or the Context Menu (see the section
|
||
|
|
about the <a href="Context%20Menu.html">Context Menu</a> for more details).<p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>
|
||
|
|
To add block comment tags, select <span class="menu_item">Edit->Comment/Uncomment->Block comment</span>.
|
||
|
|
</li><li> To remove block comment tags, select <span class="menu_item">Edit->Comment/Uncomment->Block uncomment</span>.
|
||
|
|
</li><li> To Toggle tags for all selected lines, select <span class="menu_item">Edit->Comment/Uncomment->Block toggle comment</span/li><li>To add stream comment tags around the selected text, select <span class="menu_item">Edit->Comment/Uncomment->Stream comment</span>.</ul>
|
||
|
|
p>Note that if a block comment starts in column 1, and you toggle block
|
||
|
|
comment on a range of lines that contains the line, the line will be
|
||
|
|
uncommented, which is not usually desired. This behaviour is difficult to
|
||
|
|
avoid.
