Dates

Sometimes you will have a task that only needs to happen on a particular date. This is done by adding a date preceeded by :d. The format of a date is in ISO format, so you would enter :dYYYY-MM-DD. You can also omit the year or the year and month. If omitted, these will be taken from the current date. You can also set the date to N days in the future by using :d+N. So, for example, assuming today's date is 2012-12-02, the following would all be equivalent.

 + Phone Steve :d2012-12-04

 + Phone Steve :d12-04

 + Phone Steve :d04

 + Phone Steve :d+2

If you only enter a day, iKog-js will assume that you want the day to be in the future. So if today is 2012-12-02 and you enter :d1 the date will be set to 2013-01-01. If a task has a due date that has passed, that task will automatically be placed at the top of your priorities.
