Magic Comments

Rapikan smartly supports the Native Formatter Ignore built into each language. However, I also provide the Rapikan Vault Manager as a truly global solution guaranteed to work across all 50+ supported languages without exception.

1. Native Formatter Ignore (Language Specific)

If you are already used to the built-in ignore comments of a specific formatter, Rapikan will still respect them. The engine will route these commands to the appropriate formatter under the hood.

JavaScript / TypeScript / HTML / CSS

Prettier

C / C++ / C#

Clang-Format

Java

Google Java Format

2. Rapikan Global Vault (Universal Solution) 🛡️

Don't want to memorize different ignore commands for every language? Use Rapikan Magic Comments. This feature is intercepted directly by the extension system and works across all 50+ supported languages.

SINGLE LINE

rapikan-ignore

Ignore formatting for exactly 1 line below this comment.

PYTHON / YAML

JS / GO / RUST

MULTI LINE

rapikan-off & rapikan-on

Disable the formatter for a large block of code (e.g., complex HTML tables, long dictionaries). Use rapikan-on to turn it back on.

HTML / VUE / ASTRO
