Summary

Analyze keywords

This add-on causes two markup changes in of Google Calendar. Event names containing a colon (:) will have the part before the colon being displayed as a colored tag that helps discerning different kinds of events without the need for creating dozens of calendars. For example: "Tag: Event name" becomes "[Tag] Event name".

Event names ending with a question mark will be displayed in italic and transparent, as a kind of optional or yet to be confirmed event.

I love this extension! Always fixed rapidly if a Google Calendar update breaks it. :)

This addon performs exactly as described. On the web version of calendar, tags appear with font color matching the event color but highlighted in white, so basically the inverse of the rest of the text. On the Android GCal app and the embedded calendar on a different website, obviously there's no special formatting, just the tag and colon as it was typed.
