 From Apple's "Xcode Workspace Guide:, chapter 6, section 2:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/XcodeWorkspace/600-The_Text_Editor/chapter_6_section_2.html

you can use these inside a comment and the drop down will display them  
in bold, like the #pragma mark does in C code:

MARK:
TODO:
FIXME:
!!!:
???:

You can use "MARK:" just like you use "#pragma mark" in C code, and it  
("MARK:") will not show up in the drop down, just the comment  
following it.  The others will be included in the drop down item.

#MARK: Section 1
   displays as:   "Section 1"

#!!!: Look at this now!
   displays as:   "!!! Look at this now"
