ctags for Markdown + frontmatter + tags

---
title: my document with frontmatter
tags: [ hello, world ]
---
# Normal markdown from here
## But with minor @changes
ctags will pick up @tags with an 'at'.

What does it do?

With this configuration file universal ctags can understand the above markdown file. It will create a tags file that editors and programming IDEs use to index projects and help you navigate across files.

From the example above, we will get the following tags:

• @hello and @world from the frontmatter line starting with tags:. The tag type is D.
• # Normal markdown from here a heading by the regular Markdown parser
• ## But with Minor @changes a heading by the regular Markdown parser
• @changes and @tags tags in the Markdown, because it starts with @, type f

Installation

Place the vorg.ctags somewhere ctags can pick it up. For instance, at the root of your project, in a .ctags/ folder.

The language name (langdef for ctags) I use is vorg: the name of my vim based note keeping setup.

ctags applies this langdef for suffixes txt and md.
