I have attached an initial version; it's useable, but incomplete. Unless someone has an alternate suggestion, for the time being I will host it here: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/MostThingsWeb/asciitool">https://bitbucket.org/MostThingsWeb/asciitool</a> (especially while I don't have commit access). The only preq is colorama: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama</a> Screenshots: <a href="http://imgur.com/a/BO0t2">http://imgur.com/a/BO0t2</a> Currently the tool detects ASCII art in addition to some (but not all) pointless comments. It makes a best effort at preserving justification (leading whitespace). I say the tool is semi-automated because while it will make a suggestion regarding what to do with each comment, it is ultimately up to you to decide what to do. The tool lets you jump immediately into Vim to edit either its suggestion or the original comment. It provides 5 lines of context before and after, like git diff. I'd be interested in getting some feedback regarding this, whether it's bug reports, suggested features, or even just "why bother?"</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
