Chapter 4. Code Browser and Languages/File types not supported by ctags

The ctags program supports many languages, but chances are you might work with a language or file type not supported by ctags. While support built into ctags is the most elegant solution, you can also create some simple regular expression based support for languages not directly supported by ctags.

The following chapter gives some examples. The lines shown need to be added to one of the files ctags reads during startup. On unix-like systems that could be ~/.ctags, and on windows systems that could be a file ctags.cnf in the jEdit directory. Please read the ctags documentation for more info.
