"vand planterne hver mandag" becomes FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO. The stored
form is RFC 5545, not a private format, so the same field will drive the
CalDAV server and the ICS feed without a translation layer.
Ticking off a repeating task advances it instead of closing it, keeping
the same row — so its sub-tasks and comments stay attached. A weekly
review is one thing that recurs, not fifty-two things. The clock time
survives the move, and the completion is still written to the activity
log, because "what did I get done this week" has to include the chores
that repeat.
Recurrence is parsed before dates, and that ordering is load-bearing:
"hver mandag" contains a weekday, so a date parser reading it first
would claim Monday as a one-off and strand "hver" in the title. It is
also resolved before the time-only case, or "hver mandag kl 9" typed
after nine would land tomorrow morning instead of on Monday.

Parses date, time, priority, project and labels out of one typed line,
e.g. "betal moms i morgen kl 10 p1 #Firma @regnskab".
Both languages are read at once rather than behind a locale switch,
because people mix them mid-sentence. Locale settles only one genuine
ambiguity: a bare hour after English "at".
Each stage reads a copy of the line with earlier matches blanked out,
so no two readings can claim the same characters — without it "kl 10.12"
is a time and, to the date parser, also the 10th of December. Matches
are returned as byte spans so the input box can highlight what it
understood as you type.
