Items are recognized by simple regular expressions as outlined below. You can include an outline in a [Cloud9 Bundle](doc:cloud9-bundle) to share on c9.io.\n\nOutline definitions are very powerful and can define a useful outline view with only a handful of regular expressions. Any outline items are also added automatically to the default list of code completions. Still, it is entirely possible to create a custom parser that does all the heavy lifting. See the [language guide](doc:language-plugins) for more information on that.\n[block:image]\n{\n  \"images\": [\n    {\n      \"image\": [\n        \"https://files.readme.io/3ME4kLTNGL8z4fetOFPA_2015-04-13_1730.png\",\n        \"2015-04-13_1730.png\",\n        \"2392\",\n        \"1018\",\n        \"#64abf7\",\n        \"\"\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n[/block]\n# Creating an Outline Definition\n\nAn outline definition is a simple JSON object with 5 supported properties; `languages`, `extensions`, `guess_fargs`, `extract_docs` and `tags`.\n\n## Languages & Extensions\n\nThese two arrays specify for which languages / extensions the outline document is used.\n\n```\n{\n    languages: [\"php\"],\n    extensions: [\"php\", \"php3\", \"php4\", \"php5\"]\n}\n```\n\n## Options\n\nThere are two options that can be set to true or false. \n\n- `guess_fargs` sets whether to guess function arguments when showing outline items in code completion.\n- `extract_docs` sets whether to extract documentation when showing outline items in code completion.\n    \n## Tags\n\nThe `tags` property is an array of rules that match symbols in the document. Each rule is an object with two fields; `regex` and `kind`. The `kind` determines the icon of the symbol and takes one of the following strings:\n\n- \"package\"\n- \"method\"\n- \"method2\"\n- \"property\"\n- \"property2\"\n- \"import\"\n\nThe `regex` property matches a symbol in a file and builds a tree based on that. Make sure to *only* capture the name of the symbol in the regular expressions. Use `(?:)` if you need to use parenthesis for any other reason.\n\nThe following tag finds a javascript function:\n\n```\n{ regex: /(?:^|\\n)\\s*function\\s+([^ \\(:]+)/g, kind: \"method\" },\n```\n\n## Full Example\n\nHere's a full example of the python outline definition.\n\n```javascript\n{\n    languages: [\"py\"],\n    extensions: [\"py\"],\n    \n    guess_fargs: true,\n    extract_docs: true,\n    \n    tags: [\n        { regex: /(?:^|\\n)\\s*class\\s+([^ \\(:]+)/g, kind: \"package\" },\n        { regex: /(?:^|\\n)\\s*def\\s+(?!_)([^ \\(:]+)/g, kind: \"method\" },\n        { regex: /(?:^|\\n)\\s*def\\s+(?!__[^ \\(:]+__)(_[^ \\(]*)/g, kind: \"method2\" },\n        { regex: /(?:^|\\n)\\s*def\\s+(__[^ \\(:]+__)/g, kind: \"property\" },\n        {\n            regex: new RegExp(\n                \"(?:^|\\\\n)\\\\s*import\\\\s+([^ \\\\(]+)\"\n            ),\n            kind: \"import\"\n        }\n    ]\n}\n```\n\n# Adding an Outline to a Bundle\n\nA bundle can contain one or more outline definitions. Each outline definitions *must* be placed in the `outline` directory. \n\nSuppose your outline definition is called `python.outline`. Your file structure will look something like this:\n\n```\n└─ your.plugin\n    ├─ outline\n    |    └─ python.outline\n    ├─ package.json\n    └─ README.md\n```","excerpt":"","slug":"outline","type":"basic","title":"Outline"}
