Here is an ELPA package for the HideOrIgnoreComments software.
The code is original from the author, I just packaged it up!
Here is one way to install it:
(url-copy-file
"https://www.wisdomandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/hide-comnt-40.tar"
"/tmp/hide-comnt-40.tar"
t)
(require 'package)
(package-install-file "/tmp/hide-comnt-40.tar")
Update 09/29/12:
Lincoln de Souza reported a fix, remove the quote nil from the package def and Marmalade should accept it, and it did. Here it is.
Great tool!
Do you know any way to save the file without comments? Like org-copy-visible -> save.
I would like to be able to use this to programmatically strip comments from source code for more accurate diff statistics on various sources.
Although I don’t know how I would start looking at packages on MELPA for that or something like that. There is so much on MELPA that there is a good chance you can find what you are looking for.
