Question

I am using the TeXlipse-Plugin for the first time.

There is a Todo/Task-Support as you can see in the Manual.

But if i do a comment like ‘%TODO: Do something’ in my file, the task is not shown in the task-view of Eclipse.

Do i have to activate the todo-support somewhere?

Answer 1

It works for me with % TODO test. I would check for the following things in your case:

• Check whether the corresponding annotation is displayed to the left (next to the line number) – it looks like the icon of the task view. If not (and be sure, that there is no other annotation – e.g. a warning – because it can hide the task annotation), then the annotation is not created, and then I would follow Robs answer to define your own todo tag in Preferences on the General/Editors/Structured Text Editors/Task tags

• Check the settings of the Tasks view – open the view menu (small triangle at the upper right corner), and choose configure contents. There try to validate the displayed task tags. I attach a screenshot that sets the TODO tags to be displayed only on the current project.
