Hi,

I’d like to add many text blocks to Julia code, like in [Literate.jl](https://docs.juliahub.com/Literate/XPnWG/2.6.0/index.html).

Some text sources provide a long single line comment.  
I am looking for a way to reformat text blocks to a suitable length and make them either block or single line comments.  
After an edit, ideally the same can be produced again.

Do you know of a VScode extension or other macro utility which could help?

There is a VSCode extension called Rewrap (identifier: stkb.rewrap). I use it for comments only but the description says it can be used for any text blocks.

@piechologist - `ALT-q` then works like a charm, thx!

In the meantime, I found the [Neovim integration](https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim), then `gq` formats the paragraph.  
With your solution I do not need to learn Vim (there might be other reasons though).
