automatically display comments or docstring in boxes as virtual text

Rather than having to manually convert comments or docstring to boxes, it would be nice to have option to automatically display them in boxes as virtual text. That way you don't modify the source code.

I'm rather new to Neovim and lua, and I had no idea it was something possible. I will definitely look into it!

I don't think this is a good opinion, if you do so in other editors to read will not see the effect

Yeah not having other people see it would not be so great but, on the other hand, scarcity breeds value. :) I think it would be a really cool option to have.

Would be great if instead of permanently persisting the changes to the comments, to instead have it be just a visual thing for while the buffer is open. Not sure if that's the same thing being suggested here. Basically, I'd love to have my comments visually rendered in a box but I don't want the source files actually changed to that format.

Yes, it would be a nice option to have. I'll look into it!
