Reminders (TODO Markers)
========================


.. figure:: ../../images/vlogdt-reminders-CodeTasksView.png





You can embed reminders in your source files by adding comments prefixed by certain "keywords" called *task tags*. 

There are three predefined tags:

-  **FIXME** - high priority
-  **TODO** - normal priority
-  **XXX** - low priority

All reminders are listed in the **Tasks View**. If it is not visible, open the view from menu **Window > Show View > Other > General > Tasks**.

**Double click** on a task to jump to the marker definition.

You can define custom reminder tags and assign them priorities:

- Navigate to :menuselection:`Window --> Preferences --> DVT -->  Task Tags`

You can specify if the tags should be considered case-sensitive and if the tag name should be displayed in Tasks View.

- Click the **Add...** button on the right, enter the name of your tag and select its priority

- Click **OK** in the New Task Tag and Preferences dialogs

DVT will recognize the new tag and highlight it in code comments.  

.. note:: 

 it is recommended to rebuild the project so that DVT rescans all files for reminders.
