Tasks Package

example

Special formatting for .todo and .taskpaper files. Allows you to easily add, complete, and archive your tasks.

Adjust the settings to match your ideal style. Change all the markers to '-' to match taskpaper.

Any line that ends with : will be considered a header (like My Things:)

Add tags to tasks by starting them with an @, such as @important or setting a value like @due(tuesday).

This uses utf characters, so it is still valid as a plain text document.

You can also set a custom date/time format in the settings. These can be converted in an existing document using the Tasks: Update Timestamp Format.

Based off the awesome sublime text plugin https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks
