Because there are many packages around > but I can't estimate their popularity. AFAIK ctags and etags share the same format. There's a lot of different=20 apps that generate TAGS file, e.g. etags, ctags, anjuta-tags; then=20 there were some old unsupported ctags, but nowadays by ctags usually=20 implied "universal ctags" which is the maintained version of older=20 ctags. I can't answer for the rest of them. But one thing I can tell: tags=20 stuff is very popular because it allows to share some infrastructure=20 with Vim. Ofc formats are a bit different, but not very much, and=20 usually tagging apps can produce both Emacs and Vim formats. To add even more confusion: nowadays there's an open LSP standard, and=20 I think it's the future. It supports a lot of different editors, lots=20 of languages, and is more flexible than tags (in LSP, basically, you=20 have a separate server running that provides features to editors). > Is it there any internal support for any of them within emacs?
