-/*******************************************************************************
-TODO source code analyzer for Coedit projects/files
-
-## Format: 
-
-`` 
-[D comment prefix] TODO|FIXME [fields] : description
-``
-
-- D comment prefix: todo comments are detected in all the D comments kind.
-In multi line comments, new lines must not be prefixed with '*' or '+'.
-For example the following multiline comment is not suitable for a TODO comment:
-
-/++
- + TODO:whatever.
- +/
-
-but this one is:
-
-/++
-  TODO:whatever.
- +/
-
-- TODO|FIXME: used to detect that the comment is a "TODO" comment.
-The keywords are not case sensitive.
-
-- fields: an optional list of properties with the format
-`-<char x><property for char x>
-the possible fields are:
-    - c: TODO category, e.g: _-cserialization_, -cerrorhandling_.
-    - a: TODO assignee, e.g: _-aMisterFreeze_, _-aFantomas_.
-    - p: TODO priority, as an integer literal, eg: _-p8_, _-p0_.
-    - s: TODO status, e.g _-sPartiallyFixed_, _-sDone_.
-  
-- description: what's to be done, e.g:  "set this property as const()".
-
-## Examples:
-
-``// TODO: set this property as const() to make it read-only.``
-
-``// TODO-cfeature: save this property in the inifile.``
-
-``// TODO-cannnotations-p8: annotate the members of the module with @safe and if possible nothrow.``
-
-``// FIXME-p8: This won't work if all the flags are OR-ed.``
-
-## Widget-to-tool IPC:
-
-The widget calls the tool with a file list as argument and reads the process
-output on exit. The widget expects to find some _TODO items_ in _LFM_ format, 
-according to the classes declarations of TTodoItems (the collection container) 
-and TTodoItem(the collection item).

-ceTodo
-======
-
-Tool designed to analyze the _TODO comments_ in D source files.
-It's written in D using Coedit. 
-
-To build it, either [libdparse](https://github.com/Hackerpilot/libdparse)
-must be setup in the [libman](https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/wiki#library-manager-widget) 
-as described in this [tutorial](https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/wiki#lets-build-a-static-library),
-or *libdparse* submodule must be cloned with Coedit repository (`git submodule init` or `update`).
-
-Notice that *libdparse* can be easily build in Coedit using the [metad project](https://github.com/BBasile/metad).
-
-- `cetodo_submodule.coedit`: coedit project based on *libdparse* as a submodule.
-- `cetodo_libman.coedit`: coedit project based on *libdparse* as a *libman* entry.
-
-This tool is mandatory to enable the *todo list widget*.
