Annotations not highlighted inside Python docstrings

[AlexanderElyseev]

Hello,
It looks like the TODO/FIXME annotations are highlighted correctly in regular comments, but not inside Python docstrings (triple-quoted string literals).

Expected behavior: TODO/FIXME annotations are highlighted regardless of whether they appear in a comment or a docstring.

Actual behavior: Highlighting only works inside # comment nodes. Docstrings are not matched.

Versions:

• zed 1.5.5
• comments highlighter 0.6.6

Thanks for the report! I will get this fixed.

After looking into this, it's not as straightforward as I'd hoped. The python grammar in Zed doesn't distinguish between strings and docstrings. So, as of now, there isn't really a good way to do this in Zed because we certainly don't want to mark all strings in Python as "comments".

It would take a few changes to a few projects to get this working properly, and those changes may not be accepted.

Just wanted to give a quick status update here.
