Panic’s Coda Bookmarks In Code Navigator

It is mentioned on the Panic site, but it took me ages to find it.

You can add bookmarks or tags to a file that will appear on Coda’s code navigator. Most of the time it’s as simple as an !

CSS:
/* !bookmark */

HTML:
<!-- !bookmark -->

Javascript:
/* !bookmark */ or // !bookmark

PHP:
/* !bookmark */ or // !bookmark

You can of course replace the word bookmark with anything you like.

But if I removed it from the login items and manually started it, it automatically added itself back to my Login Items. There is no option to stop it doing this built into iDrive. How annoying.
