Source Insight //TODO comment

I recently started working with Source Insight, and in order to get a proper looking //TODO - comment you need to write // TODO (with an extra space).

I tried looking around the config for a way to remove this extra space, couldn't find it, and can't get used to writing it with the extra space.

Any way to solve this? Or should I embrace this, and then slowly, learn to cherish it?

Solution
    • Go to Options->Style Properties
    • Add a new Style for your "todo" comments, set its properties to be whatever you like
    • Go to Options->Document Options
    • Click on "Language" button in Parsing section
    • Select appropriate language (C? C++?)
    • Click "Properties"
    • Change to "Comments and Ranges" tab
    • Click "Add new definition"
    • Set formatting style to match the new one you created above
    • For "range begins with" put "//todo" (perhaps one for each type of capitalisation)
    • Click ok x 3
    • Yes to "Reparse project"
    • Click close

    It should now be showing up properly!
