rdoc-tags¶ ↑

Description¶ ↑

A TAGS file generator that builds both vim and emacs style tags files. Vim tags are based on ctags.sourceforge.net/FORMAT). rdoc-tags is compatible with Exuberant Ctags for merging tag definitions.

rdoc-tags includes a Hoe plugin :rdoc_tags making it easy to add tag support to your ruby project. If you don't use Hoe you can instead use RDoc::TagsTask to add rake tasks for building TAGS to your ruby project.

Features¶ ↑

Better ruby support than Exuberant Ctags
Generates vim-format tags
Generates emacs-format tags
Slower than Exuberant Ctags on the first run

Examples¶ ↑

Vim-style tags from the command line:

rdoc -f tags lib

Emacs-style tags from the command line:

rdoc -f tags --tag-style=emacs lib

For hoe projects you can add the tags plugin to all your projects by adding the following to ~/.hoerc:

plugins:
- rdoc_tags

There is also a rake task you can add to your Rakefile:

require 'rdoc/tags_task'

RDoc::TagsTask.new do |t|
  t.tag_style = 'vim' # default
end

And use rake tags to generate a TAGS file.
