Comments

Syntax: //a note to myself

• it has to go at the beginning of a line
• the whole (multi-line) paragraph will be considered a comment

Comments are excluded from word count and all other statistics

Comments are useful to

• to mark parts that need further attention
• to comment out some parts of text – if you are over your word count limit, but still want to keep deleted parts

Tips

• Devise your own comments scheme and define Replacements for strings like //TO-EDIT: to guarantee consistency and avoid typos
• Filter the jumps window to narrow down your list of comments
• you may also set up more specialized jump masks for various contents

Depending on your settings, comments may or may not be included with

• exports via Markup Export
• merged files Merge Files
