      • getTaskPattern

        public String getTaskPattern()

      • parse

        public ParseResult parse​(RSyntaxDocument doc,
                                 String style)
        Description copied from interface: Parser
        Parses input from the specified document.
        Parameters:
        doc - The document to parse. This document is in a read lock, so it cannot be modified while parsing is occurring.
        style - The language being rendered, such as SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA.
        Returns:
        An object describing the section of the document parsed and the results. This is guaranteed to be non-null.
      • setTaskPattern

        public void setTaskPattern​(String pattern)
                            throws PatternSyntaxException
        Sets the pattern of task identifiers. You will usually want this to be a list of words "or'ed" together, such as "TODO|FIXME|HACK|REMIND".
        Parameters:
        pattern - The pattern. A value of null or an empty string effectively disables task parsing.
        Throws:
        PatternSyntaxException - If pattern is an invalid regular expression.
