Hello, I am trying to add tags to Geany, and tried learning how to do this through the manuals. However I still have not been able to get this to work. I have a .msg file (like a text file) with thousands and thousands of lines in it. I would like to set some tags... e.g. "SECTION 1", so when I click on the "SECTION 1" tab it will take me to that section of the .msg file that I am viewing in Geany. I tried to make my own tag file (.tags) and load it through Tools -> load tags. However, the "Symbols"/"Tags" section remains empty. I would really appreciate some help and a simple example of how this can be done if possible, thanks. Murat

The documented tag file format (pipe format) doesn't store the line number so it won't let you go to the line anyway. The undocumented tagmanager format does, but it is intended to be internal only and isn't documented.
As to why it doesn't work, did you format the filename right and I'm not sure if it supports spaces in symbol names.

Tag files are for autocompletion and calltips. The symbol list only shows tags that Geany can parse for the current document.

If you only have a text file you can also use LyX. There you can add sections, footnotes and cross references and navigate using them.

Not sure whether tags are the right solution you are looking for as already mentioned. Inside geany-plugins there are various way to set bookmarks to files. Maybe this is more you ar looking for.
