do-file editor: creating bookmarks for display in Navigator pane

[Michael McCulloch]

v19 do-file editor Navigation pane not displaying my code outline. I'm using /// SECTION headers, but those don't appear in Navigator. Help file explains how to find, toggle and delete bookmarks, but not how to create them. Would appreciate any insights on how to use what looks like an excellent tool.

It’s documented in the Getting Started manuals in the Do-file Editor chapter.

///section

is not a bookmark, it is a comment. It is a good idea to comment your code, i.e. remind yourself what you were thinking when you wrote that code, but that serves a different purpose. If you want a bookmark you type

**#

For a first level bookmark

**##

for a second level bookmark, etc.
