why not use the same start and end date as from Task plugin

[jalilsharif]

I wanted to ask, why the gantt plugin can't use the same formatting as the task tool for the start and end date?

Sorry for the inconvenience, but what is task tool, and what is the formatting, is it from Obsidian or from other plugins? Can you help me by giving explicit examples/points to documents/ or some screenshot

Hello, this is the task plugin https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction. It uses the symbol 🛫 as start and 📅 as end.

Whereas smart gantt uses "from" and "to". Most of the logic from start and end has been included in this GitHub https://github.com/LynnXie00/ObsidianGanntChartfromTasks/blob/39aae2e42dd0609f03a0eb9539a9853dd786cc31/Research%20Gannt.md

however, your plugin is maintained.

Okie, I using a simple solution, replace task plugin syntax with normal English syntax:

	const hourGlass = text.replace(/⏳/g, "due in "),
			airPlain = hourGlass.replace(/🛫/g, "start from "),
			heavyPlus = airPlain.replace(/➕/g, "created in "),
			checkMark = heavyPlus.replace(/✅/g, "done in "),
			crossMark = checkMark.replace(/❌/g, "cancelled in "),

			createdIn = crossMark.replace(/\[created::\s+(.*)]/g,"created in $1"),
			scheduledIn = createdIn.replace(/\[scheduled::\s+(.*)]/g,"scheduled in $1"),
			startFrom = scheduledIn.replace(/\[start::\s+(.*)]/g,"start from $1"),
			dueTo = startFrom.replace(/\[due::\s+(.*)]/g,"due to $1"),
			completionIn = dueTo.replace(/\[completion::\s+(.*)]/g,"completion in $1"),
			cancelledIn = completionIn.replace(/\[cancelled::\s(.*)]/g,"cancelled in $1 "),

			calendarMark = cancelledIn.replace("/📅/g"," to ")

	return calendarMark
