Color coding commented statements and comments following a statement

49 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a possibility of having a different color for a commented statement and a comment that follows a statement, e.g.,
% u=rand
u = rand % generate a random number from U[0,1]
shows both in green but I would like to differentiate. I could not find a lead from MATLAB preferences.

It would be great to differentiate comment colors with flags: for example
%todo: do this later
would appear in a different color.

A small workaround could be to write the "comments" (e.g. todo) as a system command with the bash colon operator ':', and temporarily change their color in the settings.
s = settings;
s.matlab.colors.SystemCommandColor.TemporaryValue = [255 75 0];
!: TODO: Lorem ipsum
Unfortunately it only works on new lines.

Also interested!
Maybe just implement different commenting function starting with '%!' or something..

I would also like more customizability for organizing code (like changing colors of comments)!

It would be nice to have a special color for ToDo items...This feature would be useful especially when you want to share them with your team
