Source Insight //TODO comment

Question

I recently started working with Source Insight, and in order to get a proper looking //TODO - comment you need to write // TODO (with an extra space).

I tried looking around the config for a way to remove this extra space, couldn't find it, and can't get used to writing it with the extra space.

Any way to solve this? Or should I embrace this, and then slowly, learn to cherish it?

Answer 1

• Go to Options->Style Properties
• Add a new Style for your "todo" comments, set its properties to be whatever you like
• Go to Options->Document Options
• Click on "Language" button in Parsing section
• Select appropriate language (C? C++?)
• Click "Properties"
• Change to "Comments and Ranges" tab
• Click "Add new definition"
• Set formatting style to match the new one you created above
• For "range begins with" put "//todo" (perhaps one for each type of capitalisation)
• Click ok x 3
• Yes to "Reparse project"
• Click close

It should now be showing up properly!
