Universal Ctags Documentation

For easy reading of this documentation go to https://docs.ctags.io

Markers

"NOT REVIEWED YET" means the section or block is not reviewed yet.

"IN MAN PAGE" means the topic is also explained in the man page of ctags.

Rules for writing documents

To represent a backslash, surround it with double backquote. i.e. ``\``. Escaping a backslash with another backslash doesn't work well depending on the tools. When converting rst to man, two backslashes are converted into one, however when converting to html, four backslashes are converted into one.

The files in man/ directory are generated from the man pages in ../man/ directory. Do not edit the files in man/ directory directly. Execute the following command in the top directory to update them:

make -C man QUICK=1 update-docs
