Command to remove comments #348

Open jweickm opened 4 years ago

jweickm commented 4 years ago

I love the feature to comment out parts of the text. The syntax is super easy and quick. However, it is also unique to Writemonkey. Therefore, I have run into trouble whenever I wanted to export the text into another format that is not supported by Writemonkey. Specifically when working with something like Pandoc/LaTeX to generate final documents.

While I do not suggest to change the syntax for comments, I would love to see a feature, that allows me to either:

  1. remove the commented parts of the text entirely during export
  2. change the commented parts to comments that are supported by vanilla markdown (e.g. HTML comments)
  3. create a plain text copy of the file without the comments

Thanks for keeping Writemonkey the best writing software! Already looking forward to the next release.

I found a similar issue and your reply. This is a possible workaround. It would still be nice if it would be implemented directly into command palette. Thanks!
