Inline Todo Plugin

Potentially useful tips for mobile use for those trying out this plugin:

To make task entry from phone easier, I keep a dedicated note, 'Add todos from mobile', and this note is kept in a notebook that contains a handful of very frequently accessed notes including the Todo Summary note, an errands note, etc. That makes it very easy to bring up this note - just click on notebook and select the note (no need to perform a search). And in this note, I always have a few pre-filled task lines at the end:

- [ ] @ //2023-11-18
- [ ] @ //2023-11-18
- [ ] @ //2023-11-18

This makes it a lot quicker to add new tasks because I don't have to type out all the formatting on my phone. Just fill in the assignee/context after the @ symbol, change date as necessary, and write down task.

To be able to easily see today's agenda on my phone, I use the table sorting plugin (on desktop), sort by date, and then hit 'Apply Sorting!' (this is accessed via viewer/rendered version) - this will apply the rendered view's table sort to the markdown table. When you sync mobile, it picks up the sorted markdown table, and you see the sorted rendered view on your phone.


Separate issue (since forum won't allow me to make a 4th consecutive post in one thread):

There seems to be a conflict between this plugin and MultiMarkdown Table Tools Plugin.

When both are enabled, clicking on the Todo Summary note freezes Joplin, and after a while a dialog box pops up allowing user to quit or wait. Disabling the multimarkdown table tools plugin resolves the issue.
