Typealot Documents (.tal)
Interactive Blocks
Typealot Documents can contain interactive blocks — living pieces of a document you fill in and update. Insert them from the slash menu (type / and look under Interactive) or with the toolbar buttons Insert task and Insert dropdown.
Tasks
A Task block is a checkbox item with structure:
- a checkbox and the task text
- an assignee field (type
@who) - a due date picker
- a Details… note for extra free-text
Tasks that are past their due date and still unchecked are highlighted so they stand out.
Dropdowns
A Dropdown block is a labelled select field:
- a label
- a select control
- an Edit options… button that opens a box where you type one option per line
If you remove an option that was already selected somewhere, typealot keeps showing it (marked removed) so nothing silently changes.
