Anybody got a ctags file for ConTeXt? :-)
what are ctags
They allow you to jump around to specific locations in a file. For example, in vim, pressing CTRL+] on "\in[sec:first]" will jump to the location where sec:first is defined. Basically, a ctags file contains tag and the file name and line number where those tags are defined. The editor then reads the ctags file and jumps to the appropriate location. A few years back, I had written a MkII module that generated ctags file when a tex file was compiled (attached). It was a hack that redefined a few low level macros. To provide proper support for ctags, we also need to store the current filename and line number for each reference in the tuc file. Then a module can read the tuc file and write the ctags file in an appropriate format. Aditya
