25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This library contains functions and variables for commenting and
28 ;; uncommenting source code.
30 ;; Prior to calling any `comment-*' function, you should ensure that
31 ;; `comment-normalize-vars' is first called to set up the appropriate
32 ;; variables; except for the `comment-*' commands, which call
33 ;; `comment-normalize-vars' automatically as a subroutine.
35 ;;; Bugs:
37 ;; - boxed comments in Perl are not properly uncommented because they are
38 ;; uncommented one-line at a time.
39 ;; - nested comments in sgml-mode are not properly quoted.
40 ;; - single-char nestable comment-start can only do the "\\s<+" stuff
41 ;; if the corresponding closing marker happens to be right.
42 ;; - uncomment-region with a numeric argument can render multichar
43 ;; comment markers invalid.
44 ;; - comment-indent or comment-region when called inside a comment
45 ;; will happily break the surrounding comment.
46 ;; - comment-quote-nested will not (un)quote properly all nested comment
47 ;; markers if there are more than just comment-start and comment-end.
48 ;; For example, in Pascal where {...*) and (*...} are possible.
50 ;;; Todo:
52 ;; - rebox.el-style refill.
53 ;; - quantized steps in comment-alignment.
54 ;; - try to align tail comments.
55 ;; - check what c-comment-line-break-function has to say.
56 ;; - spill auto-fill of comments onto the end of the next line.
57 ;; - uncomment-region with a consp (for blocks) or somehow make the
58 ;; deletion of continuation markers less dangerous.
59 ;; - drop block-comment-<foo> unless it's really used.
60 ;; - uncomment-region on a subpart of a comment.
61 ;; - support gnu-style "multi-line with space in continue".
62 ;; - somehow allow comment-dwim to use the region even if transient-mark-mode
63 ;; is not turned on.
65 ;; - when auto-filling a comment, try to move the comment to the left
66 ;; rather than break it (if possible).
67 ;; - sometimes default the comment-column to the same
68 ;; one used on the preceding line(s).
