Several things don't survive a text export followed by
an import (as of the CVS version that I just built):
Percent done [0%] -- imported as text
Dates (01/30) -- imported as text
Priority <5>
Done [*]
Notes -- no way to distinguish them from tasks; they
get converted to tasks on import
I suggest that the import should be able to
successfully read an exported outline without data
loss. A simple regex should be able to snag the percent
done and dates.
As for the notes, there are two ways I can see to
handle this:
(1) mark the text lines of notes with a leading string.
I use '| ' (vbar, space) in an outliner I wrote, but
that's just a suggestion.
(2) mark the task lines and not the note lines to
indicate that they're tasks. Perhaps leading hyphens or
asterisks?
