Research direction

Start by locating MagicPython's existing codetag highlighting definitions and compare them with the PEP-0350 mnemonic list in the issue. Extend the recognized list to cover the requested top-level mnemonics, then run the project's syntax-highlighting tests or inspect highlighted Python comments to verify the new tags.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

MagicPython currently only highlights a very small subset of the codetags from PEP-0350:

  • NOTE: A note
  • XXX: Attention
  • HACK: A hack
  • FIXME: Problematic code
  • BUG: A bug
  • TODO: Pending task

I think the full list should be included in MagicPython, or at least the rest of the top-level mnemonics:

  • NOBUG
  • REQ
  • RFE
  • IDEA
  • ???
  • !!!
  • PORT
  • CAVEAT
  • FAQ
  • GLOSS
  • SEE
  • TODOC
  • CRED
  • STAT
  • RVD
  • Editor name and version: Visual Studio Code v1.66.2
  • Platform: Windows 10.0.19044
  • Color scheme: Dracula
  • MagicPython version: 1.1.0
  • A sreenshot:
