Octave has some special rules meaning it can't just be supported via an
extension.
- Either `%` or `#` can be used for line comments and either `%{ ... %}`
or `#{ ... #}` for block comments.
- According to the style guide, `##` can be used for whole-line comments
as opposed to end-of-line comments
(https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_style_guide#Comments).
- The `%!` combination is however excluded since this is for test and
demo blocks. The content of these is generally code so shouldn't be
wrapped (https://wiki.octave.org/Tests).
- However, it would be good if we could support comments inside the code
inside these "comments", once we have the capability.
Octave uses the .m file extension (like MATLAB) but this isn't added
since it's already taken by Objective-C. Since vanilla VSCode sees .m
files as Objective-C, an Octave language extension is required to pass
in the "octave" language id to Rewrap.
Another note: it's not required in F# strings to always double-up
backslashes if the character after it doesn't form one of the known
escape sequences.

Hello,
It would be nice to have Octave support. Octave should be equivalent to Matlab but
#is also a valid comment character. From Octave documentation:In the Octave language, a comment starts with either the sharp sign character, ‘#’, or the percent symbol ‘%’ and continues to the end of the line.I read #72 and it seems that no support was added for
%%in Matlab. According to Octave style guide (Comments section), used to develop Octave itself, I think##should be wrapped too:Comments that start with a single sharp-sign, #, are used to explain the code on the same line as the comment itself. These comments should all be aligned to the same column to the right of the source code.Comments that start with a double sharp-sign, ##, are stand-alone comments that occupy an entire line. These comments should be aligned to the same level of indentation as the code. Such comments usually describe the purpose of the following lines or the state of the program at that point.A note about
%!can be found in the previous link too.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
