diff lisp/newcomment.el @ 26640:f95236e53857

First "working" version: - uncomment-region doesn't work for some unknown reason - comment-multi-line allows the use of multi line comments - comment-extra-lines allows yet another style choice - comment-add allows to default to `;;' - comment-region on a comment calls uncomment-region - C-u C-u comment-region aligns comment end markers - C-u C-u C-u comment-region puts the comment inside a rectangle
