Hi Carsten and list! I'm finding I outline new tasks quickly with lists like this
,---- | * New Task | - [ ] item 1 | - [ ] item 2 | - [ ] item 3 `---- and then I want to convert it to TODO items like this: ,---- | * New Task | ** TODO item 1 | ** TODO item 2 | ** TODO item 3 `---- Is there a function to do that? If there is any extra context after the list it should just become part of the subheading (like this) ,----[ from this ] | * New Task | - [ ] item 1 | detail goes here | - more detail | - blah | - [ ] item 2 | More detail here | | end of detail | - [ ] item 3 `---- ,----[ to this ] | * New Task | ** TODO item 1 | detail goes here | - more detail | - blah | ** TODO item 2 | More detail here | | end of detail | ** TODO item 3 `---- I don't really care about the indentation on conversion since normally my lists have little or no detail other than the list item which I want to turn into a TODO subheading ,----[ and back again ] | * New Task | - [ ] item 1 | detail goes here | - more detail | - blah | - [ ] item 2 | More detail here | | end of detail | - [ ] item 3 `---- Would something like that be useful? The use case I had for this was I need to test some new functionality I'm building and I created the list of things to test as the items were identified. This was a simple checkbox list. Later when actually testing I needed to add more detail (SQL output with test results) which I wanted to archive to hide the gory details so I converted the checkboxes to TODO subheadings and added the extra detail as testing continued.
