Applying Visual LISP Comment Styles

The VLISP formatter recognizes five types of AutoLISP comments, and positions each comment according to its type.

Visual LISP comment formatting
Comment	Formatted appearance
;\| Inline \|;	The single-line comment appears after formatting as any other expression; the multiple-line comment appears starting at a new line
; Single-Semicolon	Starts at the comment-column position, as defined by the “Single-Semicolon comment indentation” format option
;; Current-Column	The comment appears starting on a new line, indented at the same level as the last line of program code
;;; Heading or 0-Column	Appears on a new line, without indentation
;_ Function-Closing	Appears just after the previous expression

The following example demonstrates each comment style.

Initial text:

 (defun foo (x)

	;|inline comment |;

	 (list 1 2 3) ;comment-column comment

   ;;current-column comment

   ;;; heading or 0-column comment

   )	;_ function-closing comment

Formatted text:

(defun foo (x) ;|inline comment |;

   (list 1 2 3)					 ;comment-column comment

   ;;current-column comment

;;; heading or 0-column comment

   ) ;_ function-closing comment
