Here's a little snippet I wrote to generate comments of the form
## Create some journal names ########################################### These are recognised by rstudio (among others) as section delimeters. https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200484568-Code-Folding-and-Sections You start with a comment like: ## Create some journal names (with a trailing space) and then with point anywhere on that line, M-x rstudio-outline will add the trailing #. Or, if you start with a long header like: ## Create some very long journal names ########################################### so that the comment is over 72 chars, it will trim it down to 72 chars ## Create some very long journal names ################################# Code: (defun rstudio-outline () "Add trailing #s up to column 72 to make an rstudio outline. If you already have more than 72 chars on a line, delete the excess chars." (interactive) (save-excursion (end-of-line) (while (< (current-column) 72) (insert "#")) (while (> (current-column) 72) (delete-char -1)))) Stephen ______________________________________________ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
