+Todo task labels support special prefixes and variables that control how tasks are rendered in the UI.
+== Prefixes ==
+Prefixes are detected by examining the '''first character''' of the label after trimming leading whitespace.
+=== ''.'' (Dot) – Inline/Child Tasks ===
+Prefix a task label with <code>.</code> to make it an '''inline child''' of the preceding non-dot task. Child tasks are displayed in a grid row alongside their parent, creating a compact horizontal layout.
+'''Behaviour:'''
+* The <code>.</code> prefix is stripped from the displayed label
+* The task is grouped with the previous non-dot task as a child
+* Displayed in a shared grid row (parent + children side by side)
+* Checkbox is still shown (can be checked/unchecked)
+* If a dot-prefixed task appears without a preceding parent, it is treated as a regular individual task
+'''Example:'''
+<syntaxhighlight>
+Monday Breakfast
+.Lunch
+.Dinner
+</syntaxhighlight>
+=== <code>|</code> (Pipe) – Label-Only (No Checkbox) ===
+Prefix a task label with <code>|</code> to render it as '''plain text without a checkbox'''. Useful for section headers, notes, or informational text within a todo list.
+'''Behaviour:'''
+* The <code>|</code> prefix is stripped from the displayed label
+* No checkbox is rendered
+* The item does not count toward the completed/total counter
+'''Example:'''
+<syntaxhighlight>
+|Important Notes
+Attend all morning sessions
+|Evening Activities
+</syntaxhighlight>
+== Date Variables ==
+Task labels support the <code><nowiki>{{EventDate}}</nowiki></code> variable, which is replaced with the event's start date displayed as day and month numbers (e.g., ''16/06'').
+=== Basic Usage ===
+{| class="wikitable"
+! Variable
+! Replaced With
+|-
+| <code><nowiki>{{EventDate}}</nowiki></code>
+| Event start date (e.g., ''16/06'')
+|}
+=== Offsets ===
+You can add or subtract days from the event date using <code>+</code> or <code>-</code>:
+{| class="wikitable"
+! Variable
+! Replaced With
+|-
+| <code><nowiki>{{EventDate+1}}</nowiki></code>
+| Event start date + 1 day
+|-
+| <code><nowiki>{{EventDate-1}}</nowiki></code>
+| Event start date − 1 day
+|-
+| <code><nowiki>{{EventDate+3}}</nowiki></code>
+| Event start date + 3 days
+|-
+| <code><nowiki>{{EventDate-2}}</nowiki></code>
+| Event start date − 2 days
+|}
+Whitespace inside the braces is tolerated:
+* <code><nowiki>{{ EventDate + 1 }}</nowiki></code> → same as <code><nowiki>{{EventDate+1}}</nowiki></code>
+* <code><nowiki>{{EventDate- 2}}</nowiki></code> → same as <code><nowiki>{{EventDate-2}}</nowiki></code>
+Unknown variables (anything other than ''EventDate'') are left as-is.
+'''Example:'''
+<syntaxhighlight>
+{{EventDate}} Check-in at hotel
+{{EventDate+1}} Follow-up meeting
+</syntaxhighlight>
+== Combining Prefixes and Variables ==
+Prefixes and date variables can be used together:
+<syntaxhighlight>
+|Schedule for {{EventDate}}
+Morning briefing
+. Afternoon workshop
+. Evening networking
+</syntaxhighlight>This can be good for implementing [[Meal Allowances]] where you have many options.
