[FEATURE] make inline events have an end #158

Open DianaProbst opened 5 months ago

DianaProbst commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to be able to pull out only part of a page for an %%aat-inline-event.

Describe the solution you'd like I have various character pages which I'd like to be able to filter in different ways, so I can pull out the event for 'Bob and Alice have a conversation' and the event for 'Bob sends flowers to Chuck' separately. One would be in timelines that are [bob, alice] and one would be in timelines that are [bob, chuck]. That would let me keep track of what alice knows separately. So, some kind of ending like a third %% to tell the parser to stop would be fantastic. In the screenshot below I've assumed that %% could be both the stop for one inline event and the start for another, but any symbol would work as long as it's clear.

Describe alternatives you've considered There are no other timelines that are not buggy that do what I want. I could create separate tiny sub-pages for all of these events, but I don't think I should fragment my data in that way. An inline event could also have the description embedded in it, between %% tags, as part of the basic syntax.

Hey @DianaProbst, thank you for bringing this up I'm quite sure you are asking for something that has already been adressed https://github.com/April-Gras/obsidian-auto-timelines/issues/97#issuecomment-1874716661

Thank you, you're right, that is what I was after. That makes this into a brilliant thing I'm going to go 'squee' over.

Can I suggest that under the Inline Events heading in the readme, that end tag gets added? It might have been in the samples, but I didn't check because it didn't seem like it would be. If there are more tags, then a list of them would be useful, even if it just says 'refer to the samples for how to use ...list of tags...'.
