Support tasks nested under bullets

Open ShaneNZ opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

I enter material primarily by outling, so I often end up with this kind of structure:

- topic we're talking about
       - a discussion point
       - another discussion point
              - [ ] A task that has come up to do later 
       - talking some more
       - [ ] An unrelated task

Because of this, I'm finding that I keep missing tasks because cardboard doesn't collect them - I'm having to manually run sweeps for uncompleted tasks with Dataview and then edit them up to the top level.

I'd like cardboard to pick up those two tasks as well as tasks originating at the top level. Subtasks and sub-bullets can (and should) be included as they are now, and I'm not interested in the points/context above the task - they should stand on their own, and I can always click on edit to get there if I do need further context.

I've often got this same issue, where I've outlined a document, and inline inserted a task. This would be great 👍

Happy to look into this..... I presume that the assumption that anything indented under a task should be treated as the task body and/or sub-tasks is what you had in mind, so:

- topic we're talking about
       - a discussion point
       - another discussion point
              - [ ] A task that has come up to do later 
       - talking some more
       - [ ] An unrelated task
       - [ ] Another unrelated task
           - [ ] with a sub-task
           - and some non-task notes
        - [ ] yet another unrelated task

would parse out 4 tasks: "A task that has come up to do later", "An unrelated task", "Another unrelated task" and "yet another unrelated task"

where the "Another unrelated task" would have the sub-task and the non-task notes within it.

Yes, exactly what I had in mind 👍 And thanks!
