+ <description>
+ <p>A <c>TAGS</c> file is used by Emacs to find function and variable
+ definitions in any source file in large projects. This module can
+ generate a <c>TAGS</c> file from Erlang source files. It recognises
+ functions, records, and macro definitions.</p>

+ <title>OPTIONS</title>
+ <p>The functions above have an optional argument, <c>Options</c>. It is a
+ list which can contain the following elements:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>{outfile, NameOfTAGSFile}</c> Create a <c>TAGS</c> file named
+ <c>NameOfTAGSFile</c>.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{outdir, NameOfDirectory}</c> Create a file named
+ <c>TAGS</c> in the directory <c>NameOfDirectory</c>.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The default behaviour is to create a file named <c>TAGS</c> in the current
+ directory.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Examples</title>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>tags:root([{outfile, "root.TAGS"}]).</c> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>This command will create a file named <c>root.TAGS</c> in the current
+ directory. The file will contain references to all Erlang source
+ files in the Erlang distribution.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>tags:files(["foo.erl", "bar.erl", "baz.erl"], [{outdir, "../projectdir"}]). </c> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>Here we create file named <c>TAGS</c> placed it in the directory
+ <c>../projectdir</c>. The file contains information about the
+ functions, records, and macro definitions of the three files.</p>
