Comment formatting preferences allow you change how comments are rendered in tooltips.

| You can choose the markup language used to render the comments from: 
| :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences --> DVT --> Editors --> Markup language`. 

.. note::

	The ``Autodetect`` option selects between Markdown, Javadoc and Natural Docs for each comment based on the syntax. If no syntax is detected, the comment will be rendered Verbatim.

    `Specador Documentation Generator <https://eda.amiq.com/documentation/specador/toc/features/comments.html#comments-formatting>`__

Markdown (*recommended*)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. include:: markdown-comments-formatting.rst

Javadoc
~~~~~~~

.. include:: javadoc-comments-formatting.rst

Natural Docs (*deprecated*)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. important::

	Natural Docs format is deprecated and will no longer receive updates, but support for existing functionality will continue.

	If the markup language preference is set to ``Autodetect``, you must include at least one Natural Docs specific syntax element (**Topics**, **Hyperlinks**, **Images** or **Definition List**) to prevent conflicts with Markdown syntax, which takes precedence.
