Todo Comment highlighting

#1

I used to put in a Todo comment like this

/**

    TODO:
    - First todo item
    - Second todo item

 */

And it would highlight the block in red so that it was easy to see when scrollling.

/**

    TODO:
    - First todo item
    - Second todo item

 */
```

But after the recent update, it no longer highlights. Do you know if this was an initial sublime feature that got removed from the update or should I be looking elsewhere to post an issue.

Are you talking about PHP?

Oh, I guess it was not intended behaviour after all. That’s unfortunate, I liked being drawn to the Todo list…

Thanks for the information!

For PHP, I recommend using php-grammar to replace the default PHP package. It provides better syntax highlight. And, FORTUNATELY, it still highlights your TODO. But, it’s highlighted just because it’s considered as an invalid phpdoc.

Doesn’t seem to the be highlighting the way you suggested, but it brings a lot of features/macros that I’ve been looking for!

Try

  1. check the default PHP package is disabled (in the user preference -> ignored_packages)
  • close files and ST
  • restart ST

I tried a clean ST 3103 and it worked.

Personally, I use the SublimeLinter-annotations package for this. It highlights a customizable number of “todo” markers in your code just like other linters and you can browse them in the usual way with ctrl+k, a.

You can also have a project-wide overview with TodoReview (currently has a few bugs but is working in general).
