<h4>Editor-friendly blocks</h4>
<p>While diving into this project I’ve explored a few areas where I can improve my personal publishing flow. The first was bringing editor comments into Gutenberg with my <a href="https://richtabor.com/markdown-comment/?utm_source=wp-org&utm_medium=todo-list-block&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown Comment block</a>, and this Todo List block.</p>
<p>Todo List is a simple, editor-only block designed to quickly add tasks directly within the editor.</p>
<p>Todo List makes it easy to keep track of those tasks, all in the context of a particular post. You may also use it to add a publishing checklist to the post, such as using a headline analyzer, adding featured images, adding social images, etc.</p>
<h4>Transforms</h4>
<p>I’m a huge fan of blocks transforms and how they improve the WordPress publishing experience. Being able to morph a block into another, without loosing content/attributes, is a powerful way to level-up editing.</p>
<p>That saying, you may transform paragraph text, list items and even editorial comments added by Markdown Comment directly into actionable todos, just like you can in the iOS Notes app for example. You may even take multiple blocks of the sort and convert them all into a single todo list.</p>
<p>Todo List also supports block prefixes, which are keyboard shortcuts in a sense, to toss blocks in the editor with a few keystrokes. Adding <code>[]</code>, or <code>-[]</code> plus the <code>space</code> key will add a Todo List to the page.</p>


Todo List Block

It works as advertised, I just wish there were some more features such as:

- Font size & font color options (per list item).
- Option to also display on the front end.
- Option to indent each list item, so we can have "category" items. This (maybe) would  not be necessary if we had the choice to change the font color and size per list item.

On the other hand, this plugin as it is, is still very useful, and the zip file is only 16kb, so adding things in and multiplying the file size by a a lot, may be it won't be worth it.

Nevertheless, I am sticking to my 5 star rating for this.

Good Start.

Add todo lists to posts that render only within the block editor.

<p>This plugin lets you create and manage a todo list. Writers are sent assignments and a list kept on the Dashboard on the status of the assignments.</p>

<h3>Uninstalling</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to the ToDo -Add page and use the button in the Advanced section to DROP your table.You will lose all ToDo data and settings! After you press the button, you may get an error. It is expected. </li>
<li>Deactivate the plugin. If you activate it again, it will recreate your tables.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>You enter your to-do using the form on the Add a ToDo page (ToDo – Add link in the WordPress Tools menu).</li>
<li>Do a brief summary in the “Task” field</li>
<li>Select a deadline date and make sure to </li>
<li>Select the correct user. </li>
<li>Information in the “Notes” text area will be appended to the “Task” in the body of the email message, so you may try to make the idea flow by giving details about the task.</li>
<li>The information saved will be displayed in the list above the form and an email will be sent to the person given the task.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<p>In the default settings at installation, any registered user of your site may be chosen from the entire membership and assigned a task. This means scrolling through the list of all users to find the person to receive the assignment. This may be tedious if you have many users. Because WordPress groups users by roles, it may be easier to select a recipient from a smaller group of say “Authors” or “Editors”. The ToDo List Settings page allows you to keep the default total list or you may select a role (group) from which to choose who will get an assignment.</p>
<p>This plugin is compatible with the Role Manager plugin so you will also be able to select users from groups created by Role Manager.</p>
<p>Roles:<br />
By default only users in the administrator and editor roles can access the Add a ToDo page. However, if you have installed the Role Manager plugin, you may assign persons with other roles to have access to assign tasks.</p>
<p>To do this you must use Role Manager to create a capability called Add Assignment. You can then activate it for Administrator, Editor and other roles you wish to give the privilege of adding to dos (assignments).</p>
<p>Assignments Board:<br />
An Assignment Board (ToDo List) widget displays in the Dashboard to remind administrators and editors of the pending tasks. The Widget is set to be viewed only by administrators and editors.</p>
<p>Template Usage:<br />
A ToDo list can be shown in your template by using a widget. To show your todo list, just put <code><?php pravin_get_todo(); ?></code> in your template.</p>
