Multi line TODOs
Answered
Hi.
I am pondering if the following is useful for more than me -
Sometimes I feel forced to write a very long TODO and then I can't wrap the
text as it would cut the text in the TODO tree.
I would like to have multi line TODOs. The way it can work is to have the
TODO extend until a non comment line is reached, so that:
// TODO Line1
// Line2
will appear as 1 TODO in the TODO tree instead of just having Line1 appear
in the TODO tree.
Another option:
// TODO Line1
// TODO Line2
instead of appearing as 2 TODOs they would appear as 1.
If it makes sense I'll add a request.

One thing I remember asking a long time ago was that IDEA supported
multiline reg-exp patterns for TODOs (either through the syntax or by
offering a check-box for enabling it).
Having that, you could define a multiline pattern like this
//TODO
//endTODO
or any other way you wanted. I'm not sure why JetBrains chose not to
implement it, I'm quite often in need of being more verbose than I can be on
a single TODO line. Probably they considered that all you need is to find
the start of the TODO item.
I'm for a multiline TODO, let see what others think.

I would rather have web modules.
I use my todo tags as a marker, with a brief description. I include
comments directly below the todo if it needs further explanation.
