Why?

It's easy to format your comments correctly while writing them. But if you edit them later, it's annoying to reformat them.

How?

1. Install format-javascript-comment (either through the package manager or through apm install format-javascript-comment).
2. (Partially) select the lines the comment encompasses.
3. Open command pallette (Cmd+Shift+P) and (partially) type "format comment".
4. Press enter.

TODO
