Tips
- •Order doesn't matter — you can put the priority at the end.
- •Only the first matching priority keyword is used.
- •Only the first matching duration is used.
- •Start date is extracted before due date, so "start from tomorrow due next week" works correctly.
- •Italian and English can be mixed freely.
