Ideas for Arc XP

HTML formatting/commenting

It seems that with the new version of Composer, we can no longer comment out lines of code in raw HTML blocks. That was pretty handy for testing and debugging.

Hitting CMD + / in the old Composer would comment the line.

Also, the new version of Composer doesn't seem to have any colour coding, code completion, etc. It just treats code within raw HTML blocks as plain text with no formatting.

There are many cases where we allow editors (non-devs) to update simple things like image paths, JSON data, text, etc. Without any formatting, I'm not sure we could have editors make updates in code blocks anymore.

No syntax highlighting, no colour coding, etc. It's just unformatted text which is not user-friendly for editors and devs to use.

We see this as a downgrade from Composer 1.0. Could any of it be brought back in Composer 2.0?

Thank you.

    Hi Steven! Thanks for submitting this. We'll definitely keep this on our radar as we continue iterating on Composer.
