I am currently using the Inline Todo plugin on the desktop to compile a task list for my mobile, but I am not totally happy with the result, especially since the plugin does not run on mobile, so the list isn't updated when I check off a task.
I would much prefer a possibility to use the todo.txt format here and use the plugin to compile a list of all todo.txt tasks which I could then (manually) copy to a todo.txt file accessible via tools like Simpletask on my mobile; links to tasks are not required. Of course it would not sync back to Joplin, but the task handling on the mobile would be easier.
(And yes, I am familiar with the Metis plugin, but that just renders the entire note afaik, it does not search the database for all tasks in todo.txt format.)
Any suggestions how I could achieve this? Would it make sense to raise a feature request for the Inline Todo plugin?
I am using Inline Tag Navigator (disclaimer: I'm the author) on desktop and mobile to manage inline TODOs. it has a panel for interacting with tasks (simple checkboxes, or ones inspired by [x]it!), and can additionally generate summary notes in various formats (including a recently added kanban view). the format that I personally prefer is very similar to Inline TODOs' confluence style.
Inline Tag Navigator supports customisation with regexes, so you can define what an inline tag is. you could probably hack it to find all todo.txt lines for you, and list them in a note. for example, if you always use priorities, perhaps define the priority element as your tag. alternatively, if you always have a due date, use it (or use both).
Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware that the Inline Tag Navigator offers this possibility and since I am not a heavy tag user it hadn't checked it.
