Hi,
I want to extrack tags from files like :helptags does. The problem is that
:helptags can only work with .txt and .??x files. I want to do it for a file
with any file extension.
I have tried with ctags and defining my own language extension. Nevertheless,
when two tags are in the same line, ctags only matches the first one.
Example:
*E101* *E102*
ctags will extract "E101" without extracting E102. I think this should be able
to be done with ctags because in C language you can define two functions in the same line
Example:
int add(void){return 5;} void some(void){}
and ctags extract both of them althouth they are in the same line.
The last change I take into account is to modify "helptags" function in the source code, that has
".txt" and "??x" files hardcoded.
Any idea how to achieve this without touching source code?
Thanks in advance,
Javier.
To use tags, you need to have a tags file containing the proper
information. For C and a number of other languages, Exuberant Ctags can
do it. I notice the following paragraph near the end of the manpage for
that particular ctags program:
Credit is also due Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]>, the author of vim, who
has devoted so much of his time and energy both to developing the editor
as a service to others, and to helping the orphans of Uganda.
Just program as you normally would, then run Exuberant Ctags on your source.
For Vim helpfiles, Vim can also generate the tags file itself (see :help
:helptags). If you want to write documentation in any filetype that
suits your fancy, and still use |bars| and *stars* as in Vim
documentation, you may have to give appropriate options to Exuberant
Ctags to tell it that "these files are Vim helpfiles even though their
names don't end in .txt". If you didn't (yet) succeed at it, maybe
there's a parameter you missed. If you have a Unix-like (including
Linux, Cygwin, and, I think, Mac OSX) version of Exuberant Ctags, check
its manpage (and, first, run "ctags --version": if it is Exuberant
Ctags, it will proudly tell you).
Best regards,
Tony.
