Forge clean ASCII comment banners, boxed headers, and divider lines right in your editor — language-aware, zero configuration required.

Mark up your source with readable section headers instead of hand-aligning dashes and slashes. Bannerforge picks the correct comment marker for your file and lays out the text for you.

Features

Bannerforge: Insert Block Banner — wraps your text between two full-width = dividers, the text centred on the middle line.
Bannerforge: Insert Boxed Banner — draws an ASCII box (+, -, |) around the centred text.
Bannerforge: Insert Divider Line — a single full-width = rule, no text needed.

Every line is prefixed with the comment marker for the active language, so the banner is valid right where you drop it.

Example

In a TypeScript file, a boxed banner for the text Configuration looks like:

// +-----------------------------------------------------+
// | Configuration                                       |
// +-----------------------------------------------------+

A block banner:

// ============================================================
//                         Configuration
// ============================================================

A divider line:

// ============================================================

Usage

Select the text you want in the banner (or run a command and type it when prompted). The divider line needs no text.
Open the Command Palette and run Bannerforge: Insert Block Banner, Insert Boxed Banner, or Insert Divider Line.
The banner replaces your selection, or is inserted at the cursor.

Language-aware comment markers

Bannerforge chooses the comment marker from the file's language using a small heuristic: // for JavaScript/TypeScript/C/C++/Java/Go/Rust/PHP, # for Python/Ruby/shell/YAML, and -- for Lua/SQL. Unknown languages fall back to //.
