The task notation syntax is a Markdown extension to write down tasks.

Its most basic form is:

* [ ] This is my first task

which renders as follows:

• This is my first task

Click a checkbox to change whether the task is complete.

Custom states

Tasks support the default x and states (done and not done), but custom states as well. Support for this is still basic, however.

Example:

• [NOT STARTED] Choose a photo-walk route
• [IN PROGRESS] Charge camera battery

Restrictions:

• Task states cannot contain : to avoid ambiguity with Attribute syntax.

To define custom states explicitly (and get code completion for them), use the API/taskState API.

Find tasks across pages

Tasks are indexed so you can collect them in a query. Use Guide/Task Management to build a list in Workbench. Space Lua/Integrated Query documents the query language.
