Adjust alignment for comments

[rosshjb]

Could you support an option to align comments?

Sample:

\begin{algorithm}
    \caption{Merge Sort}
    \begin{algorithmic}
        \Procedure{Merge-Sort}{$A,p,q,r$}
            \If{$p\ge r$} \Comment{zero or one element?}
                \State \Return\Comment{early return}
            \EndIf
            \State $q \gets \lfloor(p+r)/2\rfloor$
            \State \Call{Merge-Sort}{$A,p,q$}
            \State \Call{Merge-Sort}{$A,q+1,r$}
            \State \Call{Merge}{$A,p,q,r$}
        \EndProcedure
    \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

Hi, well, the comment now indeed looks bad. How about let them align to the right side like below:

If you are okay with this, I can try to implement.

@ytliu74 Awesome! If the comment is on a separate line, it would be better to display it as before:

\begin{algorithm}
    \caption{Merge Sort}
    \begin{algorithmic}
        \Procedure{Merge-Sort}{$A,p,q,r$}
                \State \Comment{zero or one element?}
            \If{$p\ge r$}
                \State \Return
            \EndIf
            \State $q \gets \lfloor(p+r)/2\rfloor$
            \State \Call{Merge-Sort}{$A,p,q$}
            \State \Call{Merge-Sort}{$A,q+1,r$}
            \State \Call{Merge}{$A,p,q,r$}
        \EndProcedure
    \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

Hi @rosshjb, you can refer to this pull request https://github.com/ytliu74/obsidian-pseudocode/pull/18 for a possible solution. But it's not perfect. But you can use it as a workaround, thanks.

This change seem to break the layout...

[anton-dergunov]

This fix worked for me

.ps-comment {
        float: right;
}

Or, to make it even more consistent with LaTeX package documentation (https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algpseudocodex/algpseudocodex.pdf):

Change it like that:

.ps-root {
        font-family: KaTeX_Main, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
        font-weight: 400;
        font-variant: normal;
        font-style: normal;
        text-transform: none;
}

.ps-comment {
        font-family: KaTeX_Main, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
        font-weight: 400;
        font-variant: normal;
        font-style: italic;
        text-transform: none;
        opacity: 70%;
        float: right;
}

Now it looks like this:

I just hacked this file: .obsidian/plugins/pseudocode-in-obs/styles.css

https://github.com/ytliu74/obsidian-pseudocode/pull/22 This could address the issue, but more clean up is possible.

Thanks so much for the support from @anton-dergunov. I've already merged the commit and it's included in the newest version.
