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.

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.
