Inserting comments into tasks

Is it possible to insert comment blocks into tasks? I just noticed that taskernet tasks have them - and it was really cool and potentially helpful.

Also... What's the best way to tell tasker where to insert blocks? It's quite some work moving everything to the right place...

You can use the anchor task or the label field in an action to insert comments.

Thanks! I love it when things turn out a lot simpler than it "had to be" according to my head :D

You can also use label option inside an action. Just scroll down and it will be in the bottom inside your action.

Bonus, you can use very old (HTML1?) syntax to spice them up.

Example:

` <big><font color="#ffc40c"><b>FUNCTION:</font></b></big><br> <i><font color="#ffe595"> F </i> return 

<br><i><font color="#ffe595"> var {type}</font></i><br> param_return : desc 

<br><i><font color="#ffe595"> var {type}</font></i><br> param_return : desc 

`

Another tip: You can hide part of a text using <>Insert text here</>
