About this extension

💡 Hit me up for possible suggestions and improvements! (github.com/nhantrichuyenanh/YouTube-Comment-Formatter/issues)

📝 Akin to a word processor, highlight a text or put the cursor in the middle of it to format it. By the same token, format it again to remove the formatting. Add-on also takes into account how YouTube formats text with special symbols next to it to avoid rendering the text unformatted and making sure its hotkeys don't interfere with browser's.

🎯 Inspired by timqueen.com/tubebuddy-comment-formatting
🔗 Partially forked from github.com/Germaphobe/yt-comments-extension

Developer comments

NOTE:
• Community Post and Live Chat don't support text formatting while Shorts don't support YouTube's custom emojis.
• Links are inherently quite messy so they might or not rendered properly in preview.
• Timestamps, links, and hashtags can't be formatted with formatting symbols, despite what preview displays.
• Unsafe assignment to innerHTML due to having to insert images into preview (YouTube renders emojis and its custom ones as images, consult here: youtu.be/3N8N_UIDlOc).

TODO: rewrite code for readability
