Similar to the possibility of adding code folds ( http://wiki.netbeans.org/SurroundWithCodeFolding ), I'd like a way to insert line comments which specify that anything in between must not be formatted by NetBeans. For example, if I have comments which contain "diagrams" in ASCII-art, then I want to be able to let NetBeans format the whole project, except for those diagrams. Or sometimes NetBeans' formatting just doesn't make sense to me, and I'd like it to stop formatting a particular piece of code.
