# Task Tags

On this preference page, the task tags can be configured. When the tag list is not empty, the compiler will issue a task marker whenever it encounters one of the corresponding tag inside any comment in Java source code. Generated task messages will include the tag and range until the next line separator or comment ending.

See the Compiler preference page for information on how to enable task tags in your source code.
