Add idea parsing for jrnl file

 (marked with an empty `[ ] ` at the beginning of their line)
 * adds an entry for today's date if none exists yet and populates it with due/overdue tasks from `taskwarrior`
 
+To accomplish this it borrows a little from the [todo.txt](http://todotxt.org/) syntax --- 
+namely the idea of (A) (B) (C) prioritization and `x task done syntax` 
+(i.e. starting a line with `x ` or `[x] ` means it represents an accomplished task).
+
 All three of these operations *only* operate on entries which are marked with a special title (`todotxt` by default),
 though this can be changed through a regex option.
 That means, it is also entirely possible to have other entries (with the same date) which will simply be ignored by the script.
 
-To accomplish this it borrows a little from the [todo.txt](http://todotxt.org/) syntax --- 
+Lastly, it transfers what I call 'ideas' to `taskwarrior`.
-namely the idea of (A) (B) (C) prioritization and `x task done syntax` 
+These are small tidbits and notions I jot down during the day (hence, 'ideas')
-(i.e. starting a line with `x ` or `[x] ` means it represents an accomplished task).
+and marked as such by starting the line either with `idea: ` or the `taskwarrior` equivalent `+idea `.
+I want them transferred to `taskwarrior` so they don't get lost overall, 
+but they should be 
+a) not bound to a specific date, even when written in a specific `jrnl` entry, and
+b) specifically marked as vague ideas in `taskwarrior`.
+For now, they will be applied the fixed tags `+idea +maybe` in `taskwarrior` and simply 
+transferred date-less.
+
+An example `jrnl` file:
+
+```jrnl
+[2021-10-30 10:16] todotxt
+This is just a test entry. It shows how tasks in todo blocks are handled.
+[ ] This is an incomplete task - it will be transferred directly to tw.
+[x] This is a completed task - it will be logged as completed in tw.
+[ ] (A) This is an incomplete task which will get assigned high priority in taskwarrior.
+x This is also a completed task, as long as the x is the first thing on the line with a space behind.
+x All four of these tasks will be transferred to tw, and their lines deleted from this file.
+
+idea: This is an idea and it will be transferred to tw with corresponding tags, then deleted from this file.
+
+This is not a task but a normal line and will remain in the file.
+xAs will this,
+[ ]As will this.
+
+[ ] This will be transferred again, however.
+
+[2021-10-29 10:16] Another entry
+This is a regular jrnl entry, since it is missing the correct title.
+By default it looks for `todotxt` titles, 
+but the title can be freely set for the script (`-b` option).
+jrnlwarrior will not look for incomplete or completed tasks within this block at all.
+[x] This is a completed task, but it will not be transferred to taskwarrior.
+[ ] Neither will this incomplete task.
++idea This idea however *will* be transferred, since ideas are looked for in *all* entries.
