Hi there,

There's any quick and dirty hack that allows me to use multiline TODO tags? I checked the code but it is Ruby -and I don't want to learn it right now to just hack it. But maybe writing a perl similar would be nice :-)

I don’t see an easy & universal solution for this because the TODO Command works with any kinds of text files.
If you have an idea for a regular expression that matches your multiline TODO you could change the default one

/TODO[\s,:]+(\S.*)$/i

to that (in lines 4-7 in the command). I’m not exactly sure if the Ruby code in the TODO command works line by line but I think it just matches the whole content of each file with the `grep` function.

What languages are you working with mostly?

I'm working with Perl, so that kind of tag would be something like:

# TODO: lskdj slfj slf jslf jslfj slfj slfdj skdfjskdfj slfj

# slfjf jsf lskj flskjf slkdjf slfj slfkj slfjsf

But, anyways, I can use the tag to show the title and then navigate to the line and see the whole description.

Thanks :-)
