Adding tags to the editor code colouring

[TheAlgebraist]

Hello,

I'm using CodeLite for some time now and got it all set up nice and working. But there is one thing I would like to do, but don't know how.

I have TODO tags in my c++ source files (in the comments) and I would like to have them printed bold and in a special color, so they better to see.

I already looked in the Settings > Colours and Fonts - Menu, but I couldn't figure out how to do this.

Can you help me please?

Bye

Is noone answering because it is impossible?

Or am I just missing anything?

The problem is as follows:

In my C++ source files I have something like the following:

// TODO add state validation

and I want the "TODO" printed in a special way (bold and a color).
I'm using Codelite 9.1.5 (if that is relevant).

Probably because its the weekend...


I don't think that the builtin colouring system of wxStyledTextCtrl support this, and this needs to be done separately, using a different approach (which I am not sure is simple to implement)

I see. Well I guess then I will just keep my eyes open for non bold tags

Thanks for your reply. And I really like the IDE, it's really the best of all I've tested.

You can also use the "Tasks" tab at the bottom and click on the "Search" button
