Insert comments in HTML code

[mtemp]

Hello,
how is it possible in UE12 to mark selected html code as comments?
e.g. "<-- my html comment -->"

With a macro?

Thanks, Carlos

Hello Carlos,

You can use a macro like this:

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
Clipboard 9
Cut
"
<!--"
Paste
"-->
"
ClearClipboard
Clipboard 0

You can modify it to better suit your preferences regarding the placing of newlines

I was afraid of macros myself, but doing experiments with the "quick record" is a fast and easy way to learn to do fast and easy macros

I believe an even easier way is to add a toolbar button for this. Go into "Advanced", "Configuration", expand "Toolbars/Menus" and select "HTML Toolbar". Use the arrow button to move over to a user button and select it. Then in the box for that button enter:

Code: Select all

<!--|-->

In the Tooltip box type: HTML Comment Out

Then hit "Modify Actual HTML Toolbar" and add this button to your toolbar.

This allows you to highlight HTML code and "comment it out" or hit this button and start typing comments.
