What problem does it solve?

Taggers annotate text spans with tags to drive editor visuals such as squiggles, outlining, and text markers in Visual Studio extensions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Implement ITagger<T> to provide tagging data for a given text buffer.
  • Expose taggers via ITaggerProvider and support tag types like IErrorTag, IOutliningRegionTag, and TextMarkerTag across VisualStudio.Extensibility, VSIX Community Toolkit, and VSSDK.
  • Use cases include error highlighting, code folding, and decorative text markers in custom languages or tooling.

Quick Start

Create a minimal in-solution tagger that highlights a keyword with ITagger and wires it to an ITaggerProvider.
