Author Topic: How do I tell Stikkit to stop thinking?  (Read 4633 times)

Stikkit watches your notes for "magic words" it uses to identify events, to-dos, peeps and bookmarks. Examples include: with, for, to, remind, share, at, on, about, by, and tag. If you use these words in your notes but would like Stikkit to ignore them (that is, to stop "thinking" about them), precede the word with an exclamation point (!) like this:

Get flowers !for Carrie

If you'd like Stikkit to ignore all the magic words in your note, start the first line of your stikkit with two exclamation points (!!).

Is there anyway to tell stikkit to not think about a block of text within a stikkit... maybe with tags for stopping and starting thinking? For example, I was trying to put recipes into stikkit, but with all the numbers and everything it keeps trying to schedule an event, so I want to tell it not to think about the whole ingredients and instructions sections.  But I would still like to tag it as a recipe and add something like "make this for dinner with Jon" and have it process that.

There are a few ways to do this.  The one that I'm guessing will work best for you is to start every paragraph that you want Stikkit to think about with 'S:' or 'Stikkit:'.  If you do this, Stikkit won't think about the other paragraphs.

You can also tell Stikkit to ignore an individual paragraph by making its first character "!".

Hi,

I have the same question/request for disabling thinking for blocks of text, perhaps with on/off tags or something.

Using ! to disable paragraphs doesn't work for me, since I tend to forward emails that contains lots of lists/bullet points. Since each item would be considered it's own paragraph, I would have to prepend each one with a !, which is a little inconvenient.

Are there any other solutions that I just haven't found out about yet?

Thanks!

Hi Bassam,

Just what I mentioned in another post: You can tell Stikkit to stop listening anywhere in an email message by putting this at the beginning of a line:

#end

Then Stikkit will ignore the rest of the message. But there is no way, at this time, to get it to start listening again. If you just want Stikkit to process specific blocks of text, I recommend that you mail only those blocks of text and cut out everything else.

HTH,

The "#end" tag is exactly the type of functionality that I want, but it does not seem to be working.

For example, this:
---------------------begin sample----------------------------
Shelby County A.R.E.S
@"Amateur Radio"
#end

Shelby County A.R.E.S
The Shelby County A.R.E.S. meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at the
Baptist Women's Hospital
6225 Humphreys Blvd.

Meetings begin at 6:45pm in Classroom A and usually run no longer than two
hours.
-----------------------end sample----------------------------

Will put something on my schedule for today @ 6:45 and it will create a peep entry for Shelby County.

Am I doing something wrong? or has this functionality changed?

Thanks!
William
