Aur comment field formattings - formatting

Supports the aur comment system formatting options like codeblock, italic, bold and something like that?

This answer sucks but its one of the top Google results for this. Although you shouldn't spam the comments with stuff, let it be known that AUR uses similar formatting to StackOverflow and Github:
Code uses backticks: surround with a single `code` or triple ```code```
Italic uses asterisks: *text*
Bold uses 2 asterisks: **text**

To answer my own question (for the codeblock part):
The AUR guidelines describe this here.
The AUR Web Interface has a comments facility that allows users to provide suggestions and feedback on improvements to the PKGBUILD contributor. Avoid pasting patches or PKGBUILDs into the comments section: they quickly become obsolete and just end up needlessly taking up lots of space. Instead email those files to the maintainer, or even use a pastebin.

silverstripe dynamic backend for flexible frontend

I'm searching for a while, but didn't find a practical answer for the following problem:
An Articlepage in the Frontend can contain different types of sections. For example a block text section and than a text section with left photo an at the end an wallpaper photo.
Now I want to implement this in my backend dynamically, so that I can choose, which type of section and -even more important- how many sections my article should contain.
In my recent project I've solved the problem as an Articlesection with a Dropdown, wich contains the different section styles. And one article hat xy Artilesections as childpages. In the frontend I included all Childpages of the Article - so to speak the Articlesections, where I've checked with if conditions, which sectionsystyle I have in this Section and here I styled the section as I want.
For example Artilce1 has 2 Childpages: Articlesection1 and Artilcesection2.
In AS1 I have choose in the dropdown: right text with left photo and check with if conditions, to style the section. The same with AS2, that is for example a wallpaper photo.
This semiprofessional solution worked, but there are some bugs with displaying the Article correct in the backend, because I have to declare the Articlesections as Includes and not native childpages. And in generell this don't seems like the developers of silverstripe want the users to do it this way..
Are there better ways to implement a dynamically changing backend, so I can decide, which and how much sections I have in the frontend.
Take a look at https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks. There's quite a few addons that offer similar functionality as Blocks such as Elemental. The following blog post might also be useful too - https://www.silverstripe.org/blog/silverstripe-strips/.
Thank you for your reply, but there is a problem, because I don't work a lot with the terminal and the composer. In principle I want to install sheadawsons silverstripe-block. I have installed the composer and run the command:
"composer require sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks" it seems like it installed that correctly, because I became no errors, but what then? With dev/build -to refresh the database- happened nothing and the following instructions in the readmy chanced nothing. Should I copy any files in my Sivlerstripe web folder or what else..? I'm a bit desperate, because there is such a poor documentation.

Comments that control uncrustify behaviour

In this question (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15097501/can-uncrustify-be-prevented-from-modifying-certain-sections-of-code) i learned that i can use *INDENT-OFF* to exclude uncrustify action on certain parts of code.
Unfortunately i was not able to find this information anywhere else.
Does anybody know where i can look this up? Are there other comments which control uncrustifiy behaviour?
The *INDENT-ON* and *INDENT-OFF* are defined in the uncrustify_types.h file in the source code

Automatic breaking of line comments in Webstorm, PHPStorm, IntelliJ IDEA

If I'm typing a very long comment over line comments, how can I get Webstorm (et al.) to rearrange the comments automatically into a paragraph that neatly lines up? Note that I'm not asking for block comments, although if a solution exists for block comments but not line comments, I'm also interested.
If you're familiar with text editors, I basically want what M-q does in emacs or gq does in vim.
My question is not this question: Php Storm : How can i automate breaking lines in PHPStorm 2.1
There is no internal API available on whole IDEA platform to do such things (reformat/warp comments while still keeping them as comments and not just brand new line), unfortunately.
Hopefully it will be available in one of the future versions. Devs already working on it -- see this comment for example: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-5653#comment=27-758067
On another hand -- please try Wrap to Column plugin -- it does the job with both line and block comments (just checked for PHP code (line and block) and JavaScript (line)).

How to handle LaTeX/PDF doc reviews?

I am a Ph.D student, and I usually write articles which are later proof-read by my supervisor. I usually do it in LaTeX and reviews are done to the PDF outputs in Adobe Reader itself. There are mostly grammatical ones and mostly I miss prepositions and conjuctions in fast writing. To re-phrase everything I have to manually enter everything in my LaTeX script again.
This seems to be hell lot of work and this goes on multiple times sometimes. Is there any software in current world that makes the task easier? For example, if a text stuck out for grammar errors and suggested alternatives, can I accept the changes to replace old one with new phrase or sentence and also able to blank out the striked text. Please suggest me a tool which really makes my life easier.
You may want to take a look at the following link. It has some good information about version controlling.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Collaborative_Writing_of_LaTeX_Documents
You could attach the LaTeX sources to the PDF (with the attachfile2 package), so reviewers can directly edit the source and send that back. Or you try to accept comments to the PDF, but currently only Adobe Reader and Foxit allow that - and not on Linux.

Rails 3 Post/Comments with Formatting (like in stackoverflow)

I was wondering, it would be great to know how to allow users to format their posts in Ruby on Rails 3. Ideally, i was wondering if there are any gems or solutions to implementing a formatting system similar to stackoverflow, where the user can bold and underline text, and so on (ie provides a little partial above the post input field similar to the one above the input field we use to ask questions).
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone!
If anyone is still interested in this question, there are a bunch of options for formatting comments and for text editor helpers.
To be brief, I've checked out a whole bunch of options - but I found one that I think is awesome: ckeditor. Check it out at https://github.com/galetahub/ckeditor
