How to get multiline TODO's in Resharper 8

Question

I have be trying to figure out how to change the regular expression in the Options -> To-Do's in resharper to color code and allow for multiple lines in a todo.

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

I figured out the answer, easier than I thought

Orignal regex for todo's in resharper (?<=\W|^)(?TODO)(\W|$)(.*)

It is possible to do this using just regex...

Go into Resharper -> Options -> To-Do Items and change the existing regex to

(?s)(?<=\W|^)(?<TAG>TODO)(\W|$)(.*)

The (?s) option allows for mutliline TODO's

The format of the todo is

        /* TODO: a Multiline
         * to do list must use the block comment style
         * though it will appear spaced out in the To-do explorer
         * it will color code it all correctly
         */
