Task Tags Preferences

The Task Tags preferences page allows you to add new task tags and edit existing ones. Tasks are used as reminders of actions, work to do or any other action required by the programmer. Task tags are strings used by Zend Studio to recognize when tasks are added in your script. Anything after these strings inside a comment will be recognized as a task.

See the Tasks view topic in the Workbench User Guide for more information on using tasks.

Note:

Additional user guides can be accessed from inside Zend Studio by going to Help | Help Contents, or from the Eclipse Online Documentation site (http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp).

The Task Tags Preferences page is accessed from Window | Preferences | PHP | Editor | Task Tags .
