Can we create subdivisions of #pragma mark in Objective C?

Question

We are using #pragma to make code more readable, accurate and separated into groups.

For example: I'm using #pragma like below:

//---------------------------------------------------------------

#pragma mark
#pragma mark Prefrences methods

//---------------------------------------------------------------

However there is something I was wondering, can we create sub section of #pragma in which we can divide it in one more layer.

Like I have lots of related methods like below:

You can see that these are preference related methods and can not be divide into other #pragma.

Just want to know whether there are any constants in Xcode like #subpragma or something like that which can divide #pragma?

Answer 1

Possibility:

Category:

#pragma mark 
#pragma mark Level 1

The two lines (two #pragma mark) will create a "separator".

SubCategory:

#pragma mark — Sublevel

The single line (one #pragma mark) will just give a title. I used a — to change the "indent" of the text.

Sample:

Render:

Code:

#pragma mark
#pragma mark Life Cycle
-(id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self)
    {

    }
    return self;
}

#pragma mark
#pragma mark Category 1

-(void)methodCategory1{}

#pragma mark — SubCat1
-(void)method1Cat1SubCat1{}
-(void)method2Cat1SubCat1{}

#pragma mark — SubCat2
-(void)method1Cat1SubCat2{}
-(void)method2Cat1SubCat2{}



#pragma mark
#pragma mark Category 2

-(void)methodCategory2{}

#pragma mark — SubCat1
-(void)method1Cat2SubCat1{}
-(void)method2Cat2SubCat1{}

#pragma mark — SubCat2
-(void)method1Cat2SubCat2{}
-(void)method2Cat2SubCat2{}
