Intellilj Idea TODO search space to include other file types, e.g. .md and .asciidoc

IntelliJ Idea does not seem to be searching thru .md and .asciidoc files.

I'd like to maintain a list of 'TODO's in such files (because we can add more, well-formatted-for-readability information in such files).

If I change the file extension to .txt then the TODOs appear in the TODO tool window, but if I change it back to the .md or .asciidoc the TODOs disappear.

Is there a way to configure the scope of the TODO search algorithm in Idea?

The present TODO setup window allows us to configure the search pattern and the filters for pruning the tool window display list. It does not allow us to extend the search space of the TODO list to other file types in the project space.

Solution

  • As of today TODO works fine in md, adoc and txt file. Thanks.
