[Syntax] Tasks lists, notes or todo lists

[Haitz]

This is something I have done for me, and, well, perhaps other people find it useful too. It’s quite basic since I never used regex before and wanted it done asap. So feel free to post any modification or improvement.

notes.tmLanguage: www52.zippyshare.com/v/51852363/file.html

The file must be placed in the “Packages” folder and you select it through View > Syntax > ToDo

Files using extensions .todo, .notes or .tasks are automatically opened using this syntax (provided they are opened with Sublime). So, for example, if you rename “tasks.txt” as “tasks.todo” and open it with Sublime, it applies this syntax automatically. It uses the current Color Scheme, so no need to change or reconfigure anything. It’s just an additional syntax for those files.

So, how to use it?

• Titles use different color. Use all caps or start with a numeric character. Those are valid titles: “INTRODUCTION” or “1.0 Introduction”
• Alternative titles. Sentences starting with “#”, “*” or “+” can be used as titles too, in some cases showing a different color.
• Comments. Start the sentence with “/”.
• Lists. The characters “-”, “•” or “∙” at the beginning of a sentence are highlighted.
• Dates following the format 3-23-2014, March-23 or 23-March are highlighted.
• Percentages placed at the end of a sentence are highlighted. Same happens with the words “Ready”, “Cancelled”, “Verified”, “To be verified”, “In progress”, “✓” or “Waiting”.
• Admiration sign at the end of a sentence is specially highlighted.
• The keywords “ToDo”, “Analysis”, “Development”, “Testing”, “Verification” and “Done” are highlighted.
• Tabbed list are foldered.

And this is how it looks under several color schemes.

I’m the same one. Lost the other account password and there’s no “remember the password” button .

Just improved it slightly. As before, no special plugin or theme or font needed. Just put it in the C:\Users\YOUR_USER_HERE\AppData\Roaming\SUBLIME_FOLDER_HERE\Packages. To use it, rename any txt you want to use as a notes file with the extension “.notes” or “.todo” and open it with Sublime. That’s all.

Here a couple of example with different colour schemes and fonts.

Rules now:

• Titles use different color. Use all caps or start with a numeric character. Those are valid titles: “INTRODUCTION” or “1.0 Introduction”
• Alternative titles. Sentences starting with “#”, “:”, “*” or “+” can be used as titles too, in some cases showing a different color.
• Comments. Start the sentence with “/”.
• Lists. The characters “-”, “•” or “∙” (and similar ones) at the beginning of a sentence are highlighted.
• Dates following the format March-23 or 23-March are highlighted.
• Percentages placed at the end of a sentence are highlighted. Same happens with the words “Ready”, “Cancelled”, “Verified”, “To be verified”, “In progress”, “✓”, “Waiting”, “Testing”, “Verification”, “Milestone”, “Deadline”, “Target Date”, “Event”, “Delivery”, “Progress”, “Choice”, “Decision”, “Planned”, “Scheduled”, “Done” or the days of the week.
• Same words before at the starting of a sentence are highlighted. If the are followed by “:” a different colour is used.
• Any sentence with less than four words folowed by a period at the beginning of a sentence is highlited.
• Admiration sign at the end of a sentence is specially highlighted.
• Tabbed list are foldered.
