Known Issues
65+
------------
66+
67+
* CSS is not supported. This issue is about ctags and not this plugin. You can
68+
[extend ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/EXTENDING.html) to add support for
69+
any language you like. Many people have provided their fixes to on internet
70+
such as this [patch for CSS support](http://scie.nti.st/2006/12/22/how-to-add-css-support-to-ctags).
71+
72+
* PHP is supported, however, PHP5 classes are not well supported. This is again
73+
an issue with ctags. There are numerous fixes to be found onn the internet
74+
such as these
75+
[patches for better PHP5 support](http://www.jejik.com/articles/2008/11/patching_exuberant-ctags_for_better_php5_support_in_vim/).
