Plaintext
It's hard to understate how valuable plaintext is.
- It's really fast to write.
- It's portable. All other apps accept plaintext easily.
- It's the easiest medium to focus on (and focus is Jatabag's sole Focus).
Output plaintext
All Task Trees can be viewed as plaintext.
The Text View
The Text View is always one click away. Additionally, you can customize what is included in the text (notes, tags, etc).
In a pure plaintext link
Your tree is available on a public link as pure plaintext; no webpage at all.
Once on the Text View tab, click the filter menu to obtain a link to the plaintext page.
Input plaintext
You can bulk input multiple subtasks as plaintext (complete with notes).
You can also input entire subtrees as plaintext.
To bulk input, toggle the bulk input in the New Tasks form.
Submit many tasks at once with plaintext
You can submit many tasks at once, if they are formatted in a bulleted list:

- Exercise
Tasks must be bulleted, otherwise they are stored as notes:

The # symbol denotes categories. This does a few things:
- Marks the line as a category (vs a task)
- Autoindents everything up to the next
# - Multiple
#symbols count as extra indentation (but normal indentation is also counted/valid)
