The functionality of this non-longer supported addin would be great to add to VA. And I think not too difficult to implement ;-)

Unfortunately we don't have any plans to try to add this sort of rich text formatting to comments in the IDE. |

Thanks, this is interesting.
Actually, my wish would be to have browsing capabilities of documentation located in C++ sources, as easy as it is now to browse through the code itself.
You certainly know systems like Doxygen. There are great, yet, they lack 2 features by nature: hyper-linking of documentation embedded in comments (no need to access a HTML documentation that is separated from the source code), and syntax hightlighting of comments in C++ code. Eg. <b>This is bold</b> would appear in bold in comments.
Not difficult to imagine that this would be a killer feature... ;-)

We have 3 similar features:
1. Jump by ctrl+click. You can turn on
VA Options -> Advanced -> General -> Execute Goto upon Ctrl+Left-Click in text editor
so ctrl+click on any symbol will take you to the definition / declaration, and it works even in comments. So when you refer to any symbol in comments you can easily jump to it to read its description.
2. Symbol comment in tooltip. You don't even need to jump to read the description of a symbol if you turn on
VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Display comments from source files when available
so you can read the comments in a tooltip.
3. Source links. This is not really a VA feature but a separate program from Whole Tomato and its free!

Non of these options are the same what HyperAddin provided but using these features can also be very useful. |
