I have been readjusting my tags to meet my current work flow ideas. So far so good. But here and there I wont get a result I thought I would have gotten from a tag. I use tags not only to focus on items I have to do, front burner, back burner, waiting for some response, etc., but I also can apply a color to that line or adjust it in some way.
If I am remembering this right, there is a hierarchy as to how the DarkTheme.less is read for a TaskPaper document, isn’t there? Doesn’t it act on items it finds first at the top of the DarkTheme.less document, then the next … all the way to the last item on the bottom of the DarkTheme.less file?
For example, I have my @done tag at the bottom so it isn’t being overridden by any other tag commands.
I have established depth settings on several depth levels in Project Titles and again in Project Tasks. In truth I hardly use this depth feature in my current work flow and I am thinking of just killing the levels off.
Taking them off as I write this to test … It appears that setting levels as in:
item[data-type= task][depth=2] {
… makes using tags a bit problematic. I don’t get consistent results that way.
Which is why I am asking about hierarchy. If a parameter has been set for a title or a task or a note, does it remain the same unless it is acted on by a tag? This seems correct and common sense. I am asking because I am finding that one of the tags I am using which is supposed to color the lines text it has been applied to, is depth dependent. That is, applying that tag does nothing - UNTIL, I shift that line back a level. Then it works fine.
I didn’t think I had to adjust or kill off the depth levels I had near the top because I was thinking that applying a tag lower down (in the DarkTheme.less file) would override the earlier parameter.
Am I missing something here? Doesn’t a tag near the bottom override a title or project text parameter that was read near the top?
Just posting this to see if I have misunderstood something here. I thought a tag would override anything. Apparently not. Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
