Using the MindReader c tag

The purpose of the MindReader "c" tag is to read the content of a topic or set of topics and "read your mind" as to what the mark-up of the MindManager topic needs to be so that you don't have to set these attributes individually. For example, if you have a topic enter in a map as:


 * Call Bob next week to schedule the meeting!

Rather than manually...
 * setting the topic as a task
 * setting start date to today
 * pulling up calendar to figure out that next week is 1/31
 * Setting the Task resource to Bob@ to indicate a "contact about" context
 * Adding the deadline icon to indicate a fixed due date
 * Pulling up the resultsmanager edit-activity dialog to add a @phone context

This is all done for you automatically by MindReader:

Next Steps

 * Rather than marking up topics already in maps, you can also collect action items during the day Using the MindReader q tag, which saves up tasks, puts them in maps, and parses them the same way the c tag does.
 * For more information on the syntax that MindReader recoginized to accomplish this, see the Using the MindReader M tag.
