Can ReSharper Code Cleanup format comments?

Created January 07, 2011 20:51

I've been searching for a way to have ReSharper's Code Cleanup cleanup my code comments. That is, I'd like to always have a space after the // or ///. I couldn't find an option for this. Did I overlook the option or should I create a feature request for it?

It might not even be practical now that I think of it. Cause sometimes you align your comments like:

// History: 01/01/2011 Initial version
// 07/01/2011 Updated version
// This is a long comment with some bullets in it
// - This is the first bullet in this comment and
// I've aligned it properly

In a situation like that I don't want to have it changed to

// History: 01/01/2011 Initial version // 07/01/2011 Updated version // This is a long comment with some bullets in it // - This is the first bullet in this comment and // I've aligned it properly

But what I do like to prevent is that some programmers use

//I don't use spaces

While others use

// I do use spaces

So if there are multiple spaces they shouldn't be removed, but if no spaces exists at all, at least one space should be inserted.

Any thoughts on that?

Hello Dick,

There's no such option yet. There's a feature request in our tracker: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/RSRP-78312
and you can vote for it. Thank you!
