Support Tasks format / flexible time extraction rules

Open lee-b opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I often write tasks using the Tasks plugin format as description followed by the various HH:mm time data at the end of the bullet/item, with the normal Tasks emojis.

Additionally, for meetings, I often create a note per meeting, including the date and time as part of the note filename itself , so that my Journal for a day looks like - [[Meetings/YYYY-mm-dd HH.mm description here]]) -- note: period rather than colon, because filenames aren't allowed to contain colons. However, to make Big Calendar work, I need to add another time to the start of the Journal item: - HH:mm [[Meetings/YYYY-mm-dd HH.mm description here]].

This duplication of effort, and the associated risk of missing events due to not updating ALL times/dates on an event, everywhere, is a bit unfortunate.

Could Big Calendar support arbitrary regexes for extracting dates from items listed under ## Journal? Or multiple rules for a less flexible format specifier than regexes, if regexes are not possible for some reason?

Especially, being able to detect the HH:mm anywhere in a line would be good.
