== What is it? ==  
rtagstask is a Rake task for automating the use of rtags[1]. It supports  
generating both vi- and emacs-compatible tag files.

== Usage ==  
&nbsp;&nbsp;# Rakefile  
&nbsp;&nbsp;require 'rtagstask'  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;RTagsTask.new do |t|  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# if you want emacs tags:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[t.vi](http://t.vi) = false  
&nbsp;&nbsp;end

== Get it ==

&nbsp;&nbsp;gem install rtagstask

I haven't tried installing rtags from SVN -- can you install the gem? I  
don't know the author, so I'm not sure what to do...
