Like Toggle Line Comment, but preserves nested HTML comments

vscode-toggle-nested-html-comments

Like Toggle Line Comment, but preserves nested HTML comments.

Features

• The default Toggle Line Comment command will not handle nested HTML comments, trying to outcomment a block of HTML that contains comments itself will result in broken HTML.
• This extensions offers the Toggle nested HTML Comments command that will help preserve nested HTML comments by rewriting them first.

This animation explains it best:

Configuration

• By default the HTML comments are disabled like <!-- becoming <!-#- and --> becoming -#->.
• You can change that by defining different replacements in disabledHtmlCommentStart and disabledHtmlCommentEnd.

Installation from source

npm install -g vsce
vsce package
code --install-extension vscode-toggle-nested-html-comments-0.0.1.vsix

Known Issues

• I'm using the Emmet: Balance (outward) to get a good starting selection, there's probably some edge cases with selections I am currently not handling properly.

Enjoy!
