Symbols and Tags

To make it easier to find stuff there is a Symbol viewer.

• Markdown uses headings # Heading
• JSON uses Dictionaries "object": {
• YAML uses Dictionaries object:
• ini cfg use headings [heading]

Symbols can have tags. Tags are added with comments.

• Markdown uses <!-- #tag1 #tag2 -->
• JSON uses "#": "#tag1 #tag2"
• YAML uses # #tag1 #tag2 or "#": "#tag1 #tag2"
• ini cfg uses ; #tag1 #tag2

Symbols are per file, tags are shared across files.

When a file is opened with tags, they show up in bottom right Tag Container.

Click them to toggle on and off.
This will then highlight Files and Symbols that have that tag.
