003: Markup Definition

Status¶

Draft

Context¶

We need to define a markup language that allows the introduction of new elements through a mobile device as effortlessly as possible.

The information to extract from each element is:

• Description.
• Body
• Element type.

Proposals¶

The format of each element is:

{{ type_identifier }} {{ description }}
{{ body }}

Where:

• type_identifier: Is a case insensitive string of the fewest letters as possible, that identifies the type of the element. It can be for example T. for a task, or i. for an idea.
• description: A short sentence that defines the element
• body: An optional group of paragraphs with more information of the element.

For example:

T. buy groceries
* milk
* tofu
i. pynbox report could show progress bars for each element type

Decision¶

Follow the only proposed language

Consequences¶

We'd need to write the parser.
