.todo — VS Code extension

Interactive editor for plain-text .todo files. The file on disk is always the source of truth: no database or hidden storage.

Features

• Opens *.todo in a custom todo view by default (use Reopen Editor With… → Text Editor for raw text).
• Checklist items: - [ ] / - [x] (also * / +).
• Section titles: # Section name (requires a space after #).
• Highlights time-like phrases (3pm, 10:30 am, tomorrow 9am, 14:30, etc.).
• @path references: click to open relative to the .todo file’s folder, then the first workspace folder root.
• Hide completed toggle (UI only; does not change the file).
• Markdown (rendered in the UI only) — processed with markdown-it, then sanitized (no raw HTML, links, or images).

Markdown rules

• # Title with a single # and a space is the native section header (not ATX markdown). Use ##–###### on a plain line for markdown headings.
• Checklist lines support inline markdown only: bold, italic, `inline code`, strikethrough, plus existing @paths and time highlights. Multiline fenced code inside one checklist line is not supported.
• Plain lines use block markdown per line: headings (## …), horizontal rules (---, ***, or ___ alone on a line), and paragraphs.
• Fenced code blocks use consecutive lines: opening ``` (optional language id), body, closing ```.
