• /!\ — yellow highlight background and the /!\ becomes an icon
• ★ — intense blue highlight background
• ☆ — light blue highlight background
• () — fades the whole task and () becomes an icon
Labels are (for now) just a special character followed by any words optionally separated by dashes. However, any patterns may be supported in the future, such as the comment highlight and number highlight below. You can use the following patterns for labels: • +alphanumdash — "+" followed by any words and dashes • #alphanumdash — "#" followed by any words and dashes • @alphanumdash — "@" followed by any words and dashes • {anychar} — any character sequence between "{" and "}" • {digits} — any number of digits between "{" and "}"
