Merlin's TaskPaper Configuration Files plus a Sample Document
These are some of my significant TaskPaper files. They might be useful in helping you get started with being a TaskPaper power user with a minimum of fussing and fiddling.
sample.taskpaper
is a makebelieve, redacted version of a typical TaskPaper document as I would use it.
One is a Style Sheet (style.less
), while the others provide "Set It and Forget It" defaults that I like to have available in every TaskPaper document. Any and all can be edited to suit your needs.
searches.taskpaper
is the equivalent of "Saved Searches" or, if you like "Smart Tasklists." Not dissimilar to a very simple version of what OmniFocus calls a perspective.tags.taskpaper
ensures that all my favorite "tags" (think: GTD contexts) should be available and autofillable in all my TaskPaper documents.
