![]() ![]() You can set exact extension for the content files in defautContentFileExtension setting. md file is created by default when you add new sidenote. Usually Markdown is the best choice for a simple sidenote, since it allows for simple editing and useful features such as code fences and syntax highlighting. You can do it with appropriate glob (see Files filter). Nevertheless, it is recommended to set some restrictions as to what kind of files can be annotated, to speed up workspace-wide scan (which is performed by 'housekeeping' commands perform, for example) by excluding certain extensions and directories. You can even annotate sidenotes themselves with another sidenotes! Therefore, you can annotate any file format that allows comments inside it. The extension uses VSCode 'toggle comment' action to generate anchors, that allows it to be agnostic about language the document is written in. Supported extensions and languages Source document ![]() 'Content' side and 'source' document side are linked via the common unique id that is stored in anchor comment and is used to fetch associated content from content file. Sidenotes content are stored in separate files (' content files'), that are linked to the source document via the special comments in your code( anchor comments). The solution is to 'externalize' your notes, but keep them anchored to certain lines of your code, so that you can easily peek/edit them at any time. With usual comments there's no usual way to help it, if your code is commited under VCS other than delete them altogether. There may be notes that are private in nature and are not intended to be seen for other people, who might happen to read / edit your code. Unfortunately, VSCode has no way to hide/fold all comments. ![]() But delete them - and you may miss some important point later. Too many / too large comments clutter your code and make it hard to concentrate on the code itself. How should you manage this information?Ĭomments are usually the poor tool for this job. There also could be some ideas, detailed 'todos', issue analysis, conclusions, alternative code variants or something alike that you what to recall later when revising your code. A common case is describing why your wrote your code in such a way to remember later and don't make the same mistake twice. To a certain extent it's true, but sometimes you need to make some extended notes regarding to particular part of your code, that the code just can't say for itself. Many times we all heard a saying that good code documents itself. notes are workspace/project based, but you can migrate them to new project (see Housekeeping).keep your notes under VCS along with the code they annotate or exclude them (see VCS considerations).automatically enclose moved fragment in appropriate code fence.automatically transfer selected fragment to the note being created (see Externalizing content).use multiple anchors for the same note. ![]() create notes with any custom extension, and open them with default system application (docx, mind maps.).edit notes in VScode or open them right away in your favourite Markdown editor.annotate any text file format that supports comments.tooltips automatically update as you edit and save your note.create, edit and delete sidenotes, anchored to certain line in your code.This extension provides you an inobtrusive way to annotate your code with external notes, that are stored separately from your document and are shown in pop-ups on hover.
