Document difference between Ttodo and Todo.txt for completed tasks

[schultzter]

There's a difference in the way Ttodo handles completed tasks and the Todo.txt standard, I was just wondering why?

It's a bit confusing looking at the spec, but either the the priority should be discarded and moved to a key:value metadata; or it should be left between the x and the Completion date (2nd field).

I personally prefer moving it to a metadata.

I'm trying to understand your code - and learn Vim Script at the same time - to hopefully offer a patch for this.

Thanks

Ttodo (priority left between dates):

x 2023-06-30 (C) 2023-06-21 Send invites for week of June 26 to team workshops @Context +Project

But according to Todo.txt it should either be (priority moved to metadata):

x 2023-06-30 2023-06-21 Send invites for week of June 26 to team workshops @Context +Project pri:C

or (priority stays in 2nd field):

x (C) 2023-06-30 2023-06-21 Send invites for week of June 26 to team workshops @Context +Project

Thank you very much for pointing this out. Maybe I implemented it this way because the SimpleTasks Android app does/did it this way. Maybe it hasn't been formalized yet when I wrote the respective function.

I will change it. Is there any tendency in the community as to which form is preferable?
