Taskpaper insert linefeed7/27/2023 ![]() So watch today’s video to see me walk through using the excellent Things3 Parser with Taskpaper formatted notes in Drafts so that you can have a task template you can actually read and adjust without going cross-eyed. ![]() I can literally drop in paragraphs and paragraphs of prose between each task if I need to. So, I'm free to add in as much supporting material for each task as I want. It's a plain text file that can be opened with TaskPaper or any other text editor. The answer to all those questions amounts to, it’s super hard to do and you’ll miss more things and forget an existing task while you try to add another one. Having everything stored inside the TaskPaper document solves the two problems above. That same list looks like this in a Things3 URL scheme: things:///add-project?title=ski&when=today&to-dos=eden%20mask%0Alorelei%20mask%0Aarwen%20mask%0Acurtis%20mask%0Acynthia%20mask%0Aski%20helmets%0Askis%0Aski%20boots%0Apoles%0Agloves%20bag%0Acoat%20bin%0Awater%20bottlesĬan you even tell which task I intentionally left out? Could you add a task easily in the middle of that URL? How would you reproduce the list easily using the Things 3 URL Scheme builder? Take a look at the Taskpaper formatted project to make sure we don’t forget anything when we go skiing. Working with Taskpaper files is so much easier than Things3 URL schemes, because it’s far easier to read Taskpaper format than a URL scheme. Things Parser uses TJSContainer to take Taskpaper formatted files and turn them into projects and tasks in Things3. The need to detect which device you’re on sucks and Cultured Code needs to come up with some fix for this, until then Drafts and specifically the Things Parser helps clean this up so much. While Things3 has a solid URL scheme I’ve talked about a few times, it’s a huge pain in the ass to use when you need to adjust templates or deal with automation on iPadOS and iOS. ![]()
