+    \title FileTagger Item
+    \brief Maps file patterns to tags.
+
+    This item maps file patterns to tags. It can be attached to a product or a module.
+    In the latter case, its effect is the same as if it had been attached to all products having
+    a dependency on the respective module. For instance, the cpp module of \QBS has, among others,
+    the following file tagger:
+    \code
+    FileTagger {
+        patterns: "*.cpp"
+        fileTags: ["cpp"]
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    As a result, the "cpp" tag is automatically attached to all files ending with ".cpp" in
+    products depending on the cpp module. This causes them to be compiled, because a C++
+    compiler rule has "cpp" in its list of matching input tags.
+
+    File taggers are disabled if file tags are set explicitly in a product or group.
+    For example, the "cpp" tag is not attached to the cpp files in the following product:
+
+    \code
+    Product {
+        Depends { name: "cpp" }
+        Group {
+            files: "*.cpp"
+            fileTags: "other"
+        }
+    }
+    \endcode
