The single leading / specifies unindented lines at the top level of the outline – not enclosed by any project – children only of the TaskPaper file itself.
And, of course, a simpler saved perspective/search like:
Top level @search(/*)
shows us all elements at the top level of the tab-indented outline (without their descendants):
Top level projects (without any indented sub-projects)
Miscellaneous top level lists and notes (as above)
Perhaps any unindented @saved searches
Or, if we want to exclude the searches from the view, but see all other top level notes, lists and projects at a glance (without their descendants):
Hi,
this looks really great, but: if you do it this way, how do you structure your different areas of life? I’ve created for instance one project “dad:” “husband:” “account manager:” and stuff like that. So to make a use of that all items are indeted between their respective AOR. The Misc search doesnt work here (but it would be cool, if it would!). For me it would be nice if it shows all items that are once indented without having children. But I don’t know if this is easily done… I’m still learning here and I’m not a guru at scripiting or such stuff at all
