**Task Parser**

================

This Rust program is a simple parser for natural language dates in task descriptions. It takes a command-line argument, splits it into a task and an optional date, and formats the task according to the date.

**Usage**

--------

To use this program, save it to a file (e.g., `task_parser.rs`) and then run it from the command line:

```bash

cargo run -- "some task [@@ natural language date]"

```

For example:

```bash

cargo run -- "Buy milk @@ tomorrow"

```

The program will output the formatted task in Todoist format:

```markdown

- [ ] #task Buy milk [[due::2023-07-20]]

```

**Command-Line Options**

----------------------

* The first command-line argument is the task description.

* If a date is specified (e.g., `@ tomorrow`), it will be parsed and included in the formatted task.

**Error Handling**

-----------------

If no date is specified, or if the date cannot be parsed, the program will output an error message and not include a date in the formatted task.

**Obsidian Tasks Format**

------------------

The program formats tasks according to [Obsidian Tasks](https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction) syntax:

* A hyphen (`-`) at the beginning of each line

* A checkbox (`[ ]`) to indicate a task without a due date

* The task description itself, preceded by `#task`

* An optional date in square brackets (`[[due::YYYY-MM-DD]]`)

### Use it to create an obsidian task in a daily note

Combined with [Advanced URI](https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-advanced-uri) we can use this to create a task and it's due date and add it automatically in today's note.
