Syntax

A task is a single line consisting of a tick and text. Unicode characters represent ticks:

Symbol	Code	Name	Description
▷	U+25B7	high	high priority pending task
☐	U+2610	todo	normal priority pending task
✔	U+2714	done	done/completed task
✘	U+2718	fail	failed/rejected task
•	U+2022	info	notes line

• Lines starting with # are chapters (multilevel supported).
• Non-tick lines ending with : are headers.
• Two space indentation is recommended.

Customization

The style can be adjusted according to user preferences in the styles.less file:

• e.g. add line-through to done and fail tasks:

  .syntax--tasklist {
    &.syntax--done, &.syntax--fail {
      &.syntax--text {
        text-decoration: line-through;
      }
    }
  }
  

• e.g. set bold font-weight of chapters:

  .syntax--tasklist {
    &.syntax--chapter {
      font-weight: bold;
    }
  }
  

• e.g. change high tasks color:

  .syntax--tasklist.syntax--high.syntax--text {
    color: red;
  }
