Duplicate tag files

[philiprbrenan]

I have two identical tag files in my tags folder, one targeted at .pm files the
other at .xml.

diff -s Xml.pm.tags Xml.xml.tags
Files Xml.pm.tags and Xml.xml.tags are identical

If I edit zzz.pl tags work well:

geany -v zzz.pl
Geany-INFO: 18:15:46.169: Geany 1.32, en_US.UTF-8
Geany-INFO: 18:15:46.370: Loaded /home/phil/.config/geany/tags/Xml.pm.tags (Perl), 544 symbol(s).

If I start to edit an xml file:

Geany-INFO: 18:16:58.676: Loaded /home/phil/.config/geany/tags/Xml.xml.tags (XML), 0 symbol(s).

Now tag expansion no longer works either in the .pl file or in the .xml file.

Please suggest a way that I can get tag expansion to work in xml without
preventing it from working in .pl?

Try giving them different names?

No improvement.

It's likely that the tag types are not compatible with XML. Tag types are specific to each parser, and might or might not overlap.
