NAME
     TuDu - A command-line tool to manage TODO lists hierarchically.

SYNOPSIS
     tudu [-f tudu_file] [-c config_file] [-v[v]] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
     TuDu  is  a commandline tool to manage hierarchical TODO lists, so that you
     can organize everything you have to do in a simple and efficient  way.   It
     does not use any database backend, but plain XML files.

     Every TODO is composed by:
     Status		Currently only two options: Pending and Done.
     Title		A short sentence summarizing the task.
     Description text	A longer text providing more details. (Optional)
     Priority		The urgency of the task. (Optional)
     Category		A short tag such as @home, @work, @inet. (Optional)
     Deadline		The latest date the task should be done. (Optional)
     Scheduled date	The planned date to do the task. (Optional)
     Subtasks		Every task can have any number of subtasks. (Optional)

     Tasks  can be ordered by any of those fields, and categories can be used to
     show only some certain kinds of tasks. Tudu also warns when a  deadline  is
     approaching, and shows the percentage of the task done so far.

   keys
     This section defines any key binding on the program. See the example in the
     default config file.

   theme
     Window positions are described by rows; each row with the syntax:
	    row = [height]([width|]window[, [width|]window, ...])
     The  height  and width can be the number of characters or a percentage fol-
     lowed by %. The possible windows are: help, tree, info, blank, vpipe, hpipe
     text, and schedule. The windows help, vpipe and info  don't  need	to  have
     height,  neither  hpipe  needs  to  have width, because is predefined as 1.
     TuDu will try to guess the non given information.

     Other options for the theme are:

     columns = colm1,...,colmN
	    Columns in tree window. The possible columns are:  title,  priority,
	    category and deadline.

     category_length = numChar
	    Number of characters to be displayed of the category.

     color = color_text, color_background
	    The default colors for the text and background. If your terminal has
	    support  to  change  colora the colors can be defined  as (r, g, b),
	    where r, g and b are numbers from 0 to  1000,  or  with  the  words:
	    black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, transparent.

     window = color_text, color_background
	    For  each window can be defined it's own colors. The colors of vpipe
	    and hpipe are the same, and defined with the window name pipe.

     selected = color_text, color_background
	    Color for the items under the cursor.

     warn = color_text, color_background
	    Color for the warnings, like the mark of deadline soon or the  color
	    of the task scheduled on the past.

FILES
     ~/.tudurc
	    User configuration file.

     /etc/tudurc
	    Global configuration file.
