How can I make matlab editor wrap long comments?

In Preferences > Editor/Debugger > Display > Right-hand text limit , the placement setting is set to 75 columns. When I type long comments, the comments do not wrap. Please indicate possible methods to achieve comment wrapping in Matlab.

Answer 1

[per isakson]

It works for me on R2016a. The wrapping of comment lines are controlled by

Preferences > Editor/Debugger > Language > Comment formatting > Maximum column width

and

Preferences > Editor/Debugger > Language >  Wrap comments automatically while typing.

That is the Language submenu not the Display submenu!

Doc says

The Editor does not wrap comments with:
* Code section titles (comments that begin with %%)
* Long contiguous text, such as URLs
* Bulleted list items (text that begins with * or #) onto the preceding line.

In the following cases comments are not wrapped (undocumented?)

• Comment at the end of a line of code
• Comment after an ellipsis (...)
• When typing text "inside" of a comment. (Wrapping works only when typing at the very end of the line.)
• When pasting text to a comment

In these cases I use Cntrl+J (Wrap comments).

Below the setting you mention, there's a setting Wrap comments automatically while typing. Have you checked that box?
