+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a Taskwarrior hook for interacting with the remind calendar on a remote server. It currently only
+works under a specific set of circumstances which will be explained here.
+
+The current implementation will add a remind item for a taskwarrior item which has the tag "dft" and is "scheduled"
+for a time and date.
+
+=head1 PREREQUISITES
+
+=over
+
+=item * A remote server and its IP address or domain name with remind already set up, and ssh access to it.
+
+=item * Taskwarrior - with this perl script at ~/.task/hooks/on-add_scheduled_work_task.pl
+
+=item * An environment variable TW_HOOK_REMIND_REMOTE_HOST set with the IP address or domain name of the remote server which hosts remind.
+
+=item * An environment variable TW_HOOK_REMIND_REMOTE_USER set with the username on the remote server which ssh requires to log in.
+
+=item * The following perl dependences: JSON, Net::OpenSSH, DateTime and DateTime::Format::ISO8601 installed.
+

+

+
+The elements we are interested in are:
+
+=over
+
+=item * delta (for advanced warning of the date)
+
+=item * repeat (for repeating from the trigger date)
+
+=item * tdelta (for advanced warning of the AT time)
+
+=item * trepeat (for repeating the advanced reminder)
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Advance warning (delta)
+
+For some reminders, it is appropriate to receive advance warning of the event. For example, you may wish to be reminded of someone's birthday
+several days in advance. The delta portion of the REM command achieves this. It is specified as one or two "+" signs followed by a number n.
+Again, the difference between the "+" and "++" forms will be explained under the OMIT keyword. Remind will trigger the reminder on computed
+trigger date, as well as on each of the n days before the event. Here are some examples:
+
+C<REM 6 Jan +5 MSG Remind me of birthday 5 days in advance.>
+
+The above example would be triggered every 6th of January, as well as the 1st through 5th of January.
+
+=head2 Recurring events (repeat)
+
+However, events that do not repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly require another approach. The repeat component of the REM command fills this
+need. To use it, you must completely specify a date (year, month and day, and optionally weekday.) The repeat component is an asterisk
+followed by a number specifying the repetition period in days.
+
+For example, suppose you get paid every second Wednesday, and your last payday was Wednesday, 28 October, 1992. You can use:
+
+C<REM 28 Oct 1992 *14 MSG Payday>
+
+This issues the reminder every 14 days, starting from the calculated trigger date. You can use delta and back with repeat. Note, however, that the
+back is used only to compute the initial trigger date; thereafter, the reminder repeats with the specified period. Similarly, if you specify
+a weekday, it is used only to calculate the initial date, and does not affect the repetition period.
+
+=head1 REQUIRED TASKWARRIOR FORMAT
+
+The hook is only triggered when a new task is added with a "dft" tag and is "scheduled".
+
+=head2 Example using tdelta and trepeat (a remind command with AT/timed element)
+
+The syntax for tdelta and trepeat must be included in the task description. It matches the equivalent remind syntax (+10 and *1).
+These are removed from the description before saving and are used in the C<AT> clause in remind.
+
+=over
+
+=item
+
+C<task add Meaningless meeting +10 *1 +dft scheduled:2021-10-09T10:00Z>
+
+=back
+
+The C<Z> is optional, but the time specified is in Zulu time, so take that into account. When in BST it will take an hour off.
+
+Although this is a meaningless meeting, it is important enough to be reminded of it 10 minutes before 10am (C<+10>), with a repeat
+every minute (C<*1>) between the initial reminder and the time of the meeting itself.
+
+The additional C<tdelta> and C<trepeat> tags (+10 and *1) are removed from the task description before either getting to remind
+or to taskwarrior.
+
+=head2 Example using delta (a remind command with advanced warning in days)
+
+The only way that delta is different from tdelta inside the remind REM command is from it's placement: delta relates to the date aspect
+whereas tdelta relates to time in the C<AT> clause. We wish to retain the use of "+" but we must distinguise it inside the task description
+from tdelta so for delta we prefix with C<D>: e.g. C<D+10> which says that this must give us advance warning of 10 days. At this point, we
+are only using one C<+>, not two because use of the C<OMIT> keyword is not yet implemented.
+
+=over
+
+=item
+
+C<task add Meaningless meeting D+2 +dft scheduled:2021-10-09T10:00Z>
+
+=back
+
+This will pre-warn us 2 days in advance of the meaningless meeting scheduled to take place on 9 October 2021 at 11:00BST. The advance
+warning triggers will not trigger at the time of the meeting; instead the calendar will show that the meaningless meeting is happening in X days.
+
+=head2 Example using repeat (a remind command which creates a repeating event)
+
+This will set an event for the specified date/date and time and will repeat X days following.
+
+=over
+
+=item
+
+C<task add Meaningless meeting D*2 +dft scheduled:2021-10-09T10:00Z>
+=back
+All tokens: C<delta>, C<repeat>, C<tdelta> and C<trepeat> can be mixed and matched in the C<task> description.
