Description ericarseneau 2004-10-23 21:11:46 UTC 
I would like to see comments such as
// TODO My stuff here
And have the TODO be highlighted.  The ideal would
be to allow the user to define list of these
highlight markers, as well as being able to set
the colors.

I've implemented this on the cheap for Rave.  Will
be sending diff's on cdp-rave

This is what tasklist module is intended to solve.

There is the diff, showing how it is hacked currently in editor.
Please provide an info how it should be done.
Comment 4 _ pkuzel 2005-02-10 09:02:12 UTC 
My implementation proposal is to use annotations for this purpose.
They works in all editor types.

Attached patch requires that *all* editor syntaxes are TODO markers aware.

Mila what do you suggest here?
Comment 5 Miloslav Metelka 2005-02-10 10:40:54 UTC 
Yes, I agree with Petr K. The JavaSyntax should track lexical language
elements which TODOs are not. The highlight should be performed by
adding an annotation.
