Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

To clarify templates, one can comment before or after, but not in line. I would like to be able to do so to keep things tidy as the notes popup is small by default. Example of possible syntaxes:

#template whatever // comment
#template whatever # comment

As it is now, you either have lumps of text or with empty lines things grow quickly:

Comment
#template some template
Comment
#template some other template

Comment
#template yet another one

Describe your ideal solution to this problem
