Style formatting based on search match

[CRN]

Hi

First, Taskpaper is excellent.

Onto my question (and sorry if there’s a topic for this already - I didn’t see one):

Is it possible to amend the .less stylesheet to automatically format lines in the document matching certain search criteria? I guess this extends to a lot of stuff, but my use case is highlighting in a different colour items that are past due (i.e. their @due tag date is in the past).

If it’s possible, and just requires some digging through reference docs, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Personally, I’d prefer it if only the tag changed its color, not the whole line. What if you could define past, today, soon, and future like saved searches, e.g. @tagcolor(today, green) or @taskcolor(past, red)? Maybe this could be expanded to other data strings: @taskc…
